Lyrics:

Wish I was an apple a-hanging in a tree
Wish you were another one a-hanging there by me
Wish I was a bluebird a-flying in the sky
Wish you were another one a-flying by my side
Well, I wish I may and I wish I might have my wish come true
For if I had three wishes I would wish 'em all for you

I wish I was a flower a-blooming every day
And every morning you would come pick me for your bouquet
Wish I was a whippoorwill with voice so clear and bright
I'd sit outside your window and sing you to sleep at night
Well, I wish I may and I wish I might have my wish come true
For if I had three wishes I would wish 'em all for you

Wish I was a speckled trout a-swimming in a brook
And if you had a fishing pole I'd jump up on your hook
Wish I was the evening star for everyone to see
I'd shine a little brighter every time you look at me
Well, I wish I may and I wish I might have my wish come true
For if I had three wishes I would wish 'em all for you
