herbert coleman - big mole/chapel scene lyrics

[alex, spoken]
is this the little gray house?

[stephen, spoken]
yes, alex.

[alex, spoken]
and is the nest still in the tree?

[stephen, spoken]
yes. there it is.

[alex, spoken]
and can i dig in the earth if i want to?

[stephen, spoken]
yes, as much as you wish.

[alex, spoken]
oh, i like it here.

[stephen, spoken]
mmm.

[alex]
big mole was a digger of the fastest kind
he’d dig in the earth like you think in your mind
when big mole came to the side of a hill
instead of going over, he’d start in to drill
he promised his mother a well in the town
and he brought boiling water from a thousand feet down
down, down, down, down
three mile, four miles, five miles down
he can go through rock, he can go through coal
whenever you come to an oversized hole
down at the bottom is big black mole
big black mole! big black mole!
when mole was a younker they showed him a mine
he said, “i like the idea fine
let me have that hose, let me have that drill”
if they hadn’t shut if off he’d be boring still
and down at the bottom he chunked all around
’til he chunked out a city six mile in the ground
down, down, down, down
three miles, four miles, five miles down
you can be your pants, you can bet your soul
whenever you come to a main+sized hole
down at the bottom is big black mole
big black mole! big black mole!

big mole had a girl who was small and sweet
he promised her diamonds for her hands and feet
he dug so deep and he dug so well
he broke right into the ceiling of h+ll
and he looked the old devil spang in the eye
and he said, “i’m not coming back here ’til i die!”
down, down, down, down
three mile, four miles, five miles down
he can go through rock, he can go through coal
whenever you come to a sure enough hole
down at the bottom is big black mole!
big black mole! big black mole!
big black mole!
[villager]
lord of the heart, look down upon
our earthly pilgrimage

[stephen, spoken]
my dear people, my son absalom will die tomorrow morning at four on the scaffold, for a murder to which he confessed and of which he was guilty. if i stay here now, i become a hindrance to you, and not a help. and so i am resigning from my pastorate at ndotshéni. i must go.

[ensemble]
lord of the heart
