In the Wishing Well

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 the lone magpie
 I knew that my heart was in danger
 But 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
 I took up my heart from the grinding stone
 And gathered the bits and the tatters
 Singing, "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
