Wanda Jackson Lyrics
"Wishing Well"

(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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
