In the Wishing Well lyrics

I threw my heart in the wishing well

The day I met him by the river

He sang, "Fol diddle daw, dootle ditle day

Our love will go on forever"

He said, "Give me your smile at the end of the day"

I gave him my heart in the bargain

He sang, "Fol diddle daw, dootle ditle day"

He was so clever and charming

Rightly dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightle dum da, diddly I do

Rightle dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightly diddly aw, diddly I do

Each day in the sky came a lone magpie

I knew that my heart was in danger

He sang, "Fol dittle daw, dootle itle day

My darlin’, you know I’m no stranger"

I never knew if his love was true

His eyes they were always a’ roving

He sang, "Fol diddle daw, doodle idle day"

I spied his feet, then I was knowing

Rightly dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightle dum da, diddly I do

Rightle dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightly diddly aw, diddly I do

I took up my heart from the grinding stone

And gathered the bits and the tatters

I sang, "Fol dittle daw, dootle ditle day"

Fare thee well to the love that was shattered

I’ve been long up and down on the same old road

With the well and the mill and the mourning

Singing, "Fol dittle daw, dootle ditle day"

I’ll be on a new road with the dawning

Rightly dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightle dum da, diddly I do

Rightle dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightly diddly aw, diddly I do

Rightly dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightle dum da, diddly I do

Rightle dum daw, rightle diddle ditle do

Rightly diddly aw, diddly I do
