Nickel In The Well - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I’ve got a four leaf clover and a horseshoe on the wall

I 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 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 goin' to 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 just cross my fingers and throw another nickel in the well

And with a lot of love and a little luck

You’ll fall like I fell

I just cross my fingers and throw another nickel in the well

I just cross my fingers and throw another nickel in the well
