The Old Wishing Well

Oh wishing well, oh wishing Well Will you answer me truly? If I drop a quarter down this Black hole Will you answer me truly? Oh wishing well, oh wishing Well I want to know if my future Look grim Or that of a happy life ending Will I travel the open seas To all the exotic islands Will I travel the world over making My imprint on life Or Will I find love in a mall Or maybe in my travel afar Here I go oh wishing well I'm eager to know my fate Time for my wish oh wishing Well So I dropped a quarter into the wishing Well So excited was I It began to tumble and twirl I could see my reflection all so well Down This black hole that turn Than The wishing well “said to me” Your life will be long maybe Prosperous You will travel the world end to End.. Will I find my true love that Wait's? Well, the wishing well tumble for a Second "And said to me" Just drop me a silver dollar Than I can tell all that you Seek.. So I ran into my house and And quickly open up my old Mason jug And pulled out my silver dollar I ran Back to that old wishing well Dropped my silver dollar Now tell me of my love fate That old wishing well just tumble For one second.. Than it replied to me “Thank you kindly" But Next time don’t believe an old Wishing well like me For I have grown old and ran out Of wishes.. And wishes don't always come true
