Oh, it's Tempe, roll down your bangs Tempe, roll down your bangs
Roll down your bangs and see how they hang Oh, it's Tempe, roll down your bangs
My baby wants a five-dollar shawl My baby wants a five-dollar shawl
So when I come round that hill with that twenty-dollar bill
She says, Daddy, where you been so long?
I said, Baby, where you been so long?
My baby, where you been so long?
I been in the pen with those rough and rowdy men And, darling, I'm going back again
I wish I was a mole in that ground I wish I was a mole in that ground
If I was a mole in the ground I'd root this mountain down
And I wish I was a mole in that ground I wish I was a lizard in that spring
I wish I was a lizard in that spring If I was a lizard in spring
I'd hear my darlin' sing And I wish I was a lizard in that spring
Oh, it's Tempe, let your bangs hang down Tempe, let your bangs hang down
Tempe, let your bangs hang down Tempe, let your bangs hang down
Tempe, let your bangs hang down Tempe, let your bangs hang down
Tempe, let your bangs hang down Tempe, let your bangs hang down
