Wishin Well - The Kentucky Headhunters

Written by：Anthony Kenney/Fred K. Young/Richard Oren Young

If his soul was as clean as his pockets

If he died he'd be in heaven today

But he followed a fool hearted woman

He cut a pact with the devil to pay

She wanted the things that her

Neighbors had that a poor man couldn't provide

She took a back bone man for his

Money and he took his love and died

So throw your money in a wishing well

Be proud of what you got and who you are

Don't you go changing with every falling star

'Cause when they hit the ground you'll

Follow them down and end your life in a wishing well

I am just one single coin that lives with a thousand dreams

Some come true for some folks some land on a dead end street

When they take me out of this wishing well I'll belong to another soul

I pray to God they don't throw me away

I wanna reach for the sinful gold

So throw your money in a wishing well

Be proud of what you got and who you are

Don't you go changing with every falling star

When they hit the ground

You'll follow them down and end your life in a wishing well

So throw your money in a wishing well

Be proud of what you got and who you are

Don't you go changing with every falling star

'Cause when they hit the ground you'll

Follow them down and end your life in a wishing well

When they hit the ground you'll follow

Them down and end your life in a wishing well
