<br>THE MOLECATCHER<br>In Wellington town at the sign of the plough<br>There lived a molecatcher, shall I tell you how?<br> Singing to rel i day fol di lie laddie lie laddie di day<br>He`d go a molecatching from morning to night<br>And a young fellow came for to play with his wife<br>The molecatcher jealous of this very same thing<br>He hid in the wash house to see him come in<br>He saw the young fellow come over the stile<br>Which caused the molecatcher so crafty to smile<br>He knocked on the door and thus he did say<br>"Where is your husband, good woman, I pray?"<br>"He`s gone a-molecatching, you need never fear"<br>But little did she think the molecatcher was near<br>She went up the stairs and gave him the sign<br>And the molecatcher followed them quickly behind<br>And while the young fellow was up to his frolics<br>The molecatcher caught him right fast by his bollocks<br>The trap it squeezed tighter, which caused him to smile<br>Saying, "Here`s the best mole that I`ve caught in a while"<br>"I`ll make you pay dearly for tilling my ground<br>And the money it`ll cop you no less than ten pound"<br>"Ten pound," says the young fellow, "That I don`t mind<br>It only works out about tuppence a grind"<br>So come all you young fellows and mind what you`re at<br>And don`t get `em caught in the molecatcher`s trap<br>______________<br>collected by Gardiner from G.
