Lunsford said of this song, "I've known it since 1901 when I heard Fred Moody, then a high school boy, sing it down in Burke County." [http://theanthologyofamericanfolkmusic.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/i-wish-i-was-mole-in-ground-bascom.html]

These are good grounds for treating this composition as '''public domain'''.
