Lyrics
In old Tawney Common There’s a pub and a cow And there lives a molecatcher And I’ll tell you how Well, he goes a-mole catching From mornin’ ‘til night While a jolly young farmer Goes playing with his wife Singin’ ho-ho-ho All day and all night Singin’ ho-ho-ho ‘Til the moon it shone bright Well the molecatcher Jealous of the very same thing So he hid in the ale house And watched him come in When that young farmer Jumped over the stile Well, it caused the molеcatcher To laugh and to smile Singin’ ho-ho-ho All day and all night Singin’ ho-ho-ho ‘Til the moon it shonе bright He knocked at the door And this he did say ‘Oh, where is your husband Good woman, I pray?’ ‘Well, he’s gone a-mole catching So you need not fear.’ But little did she think A molecatcher was near Singin’ ho-ho-ho All day and all night Singin’ ho-ho-ho ‘Til the moon it shone bright She went upstairs And he followed the sign But the molecatcher followed them Closely behind And when they got into The middle of their sport Well, the molecatcher grabbed him Quite fast by his coat Singin’ ho-ho-ho All day and all night Singin’ ho-ho-ho ‘Til the moon it shone bright He clapped his hands And he laughed at the sight Saying, ‘Here’s the best mole That I’ve caught in me life! And I’ll make you pay well For plowing my ground And the money it shall be No less than ten pounds!’ Singin’ ho-ho-ho All day and all night Singin’ ho-ho-ho ‘Til the moon it shone bright ‘Very well,’ said the farmer ‘The money I don’t mind For it only works out About tuppence a time.’ Some, come all you young farmers And mind where you’re at Don’t you ever get caught In a molecatcher’s trap Singin’ ho-ho-ho All day and all night Singin’ ho-ho-ho ‘Til the moon it shone bright Singin’ ho-ho-ho All day and all night Singin’ ho-ho-ho ‘Til the moon it shone bright
