Wishing Well

Wanda Jackson · Cream Of The Crop [1968]

(Billy Graham)



I'm goin' fishing in the wishing well

I'm gonna get me back my dime

I made a wish but it didn't come true

I get cheated every time.



I didn't tell a soul about my wish

So I didn't break the spell

Got lots of time and nothing special to do

I'm going fishing in the wishing well.



I closed my eyes and turned around three times

Threw it over my left shoulder

I wished to myself that when I saw you again

My heart would be a little bit bolder.



I'm going fishing in the wishing well

'Casue when I look into your eyes

My heart got weak and made me run away

Just like all those other times.

I closed my eyes and turned around three times

Threw it over my left shoulder

I wished to myself that when I saw you again

My heart would be a little bit bolder.



I'm going fishing in the wishing

And when I get me back my dime

I'll add some wishes for a wedding gown

And save my wishes up for wedding bells.



I'm going fishing in the wishing well.

I'm going fishing in the wishing well...
