"Nickel In The Well" lyrics - NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND

I got a four leaf clover
Hung a horseshoe on the wall
Threw salt over my left shoulder
I'll try anything at all
To get lucky with you
I want you so much
Until you want me too
I ain't gonna give up

I'll throw another nickel in the well
Tell myself this time maybe it'll help
To make my dreams come true
I'll make another wish upon a star
Just in case you're out in your backyard
Lookin' up there too
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well

If I could get Houdini
To teach me a trick or two
Then maybe you would see me
In the way I want you to
I'm gonna knock on wood
It ain't been easy
I've done everything I could
To make you need me

I'll throw another nickel in the well
Tell myself this time maybe it'll help
To make my dreams come true
I'll make another wish upon a star
Just in case you're out in your backyard
Lookin' up there too
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well

With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well
