Mole in a hole

Richard Thompson


Like the flowers, like the bees 
Like the woodlands and the trees 
I like the Byrds on their LP's 
And I'm a refugee 
(Chorus) 
I wanna be a mole in a hole, digging low and slow 
I wanna be a fly flying high in the sky 
I wanna be a mole in a hole, digging low and slow 
I wanna be a fly flying high in the sky 
I had a friend who had a friend in Jesus 
He used to read the good book every day 
But my friend got so friendly with friend Jesus 
Friend Jesus took my only friend away 
(Chorus) 
Well, my feet are smelly and hair's a mess 
My teeth are yellow and I've got bad breath 
I may look great but I feel like death 
And I'm a refugee 
(Chorus) 
My friend he was as wise as Mister Wise Owl 
He could count from one to ten, from A to Z 
My friend he was so wise he got religion 
That's why I'm alive today and he is dead 
(Chorus)
