I wish I was a mole in the ground (x2)
(If I was a) mole in ground, I would root that mountain down
Oh, I wish I was a mole in the ground.
I wish I was a bird in the sky (x2)
I would fly fly fly right into the by and by
Oh, I wish I was a bird in the sky.
And I wish that you'd give me a second look (x2)
I would sing you a song not written in any book
Oh, I wish that you'd give me a second look.
Oh, I wish I was a long lonesome rail (x2)
With a train comin' down I could hear that whistle wail
Oh, I wish I was a long lonesome rail.
I wish I had some more words to say
I wish I had a few more words to say
I would love you like the sun loves the day
Oh, I wish I had a few more words to say.
I wish I was a lizard in the spring (x2)
(If I was) a lizard in the spring I could hear my darling sing
Oh, I wish I was a lizard in the spring.
I wish I was a mole in the ground (x2)
(If I was a) mole in ground, I would root that mountain down
Oh, I wish I was a mole in the ground.
