G D G I wish I was a mole in the ground C G I wish I was a mole in the ground C G If I's a mole in the ground I'd root that mountain down D G I wish I was a mole in the ground G D G Sally, let your hair roll down C G Sally, let your hair roll down C G Let your hair roll down and your bangs curl around D G Sally, let your hair roll down G D G Sally wants a nine dollar shawl C G Sally wants a nine dollar shawl C G When I come over the hill with a twenty dollar bill D G It's baby, where you been so long G D G I wish I was a lizard in the spring C G I wish I was a lizard in the spring C G If I's a lizard in the spring then I'd hear my true love sing D G I wish I was a lizard in the spring G D G Baby, where you been so long C G Baby, where you been so long C G I've been in the pen with the rough and rowdy men D G Baby, where you been so long [Repeat first verse]
