[Verse 1]
Oh, bless the day that I found my love
Alas, she didn't find me!
Oh, but I found a penny in the wink of the walk
And I'll whip up a wish or three
As I flipped it in, how my eyes did glimmer
In the shimmer of a shallow stream
Found penny, found penny
Will you feed a fool his dream?

[Chorus]
Found penny!
On my life, I'm gonna throw you up in the air
Found penny!
Oh, by tonight I'll be lost in the loops of her hair

[Verse 2]
The day that a bouncing newborn babe
The branches of a bur oak bend
Or holy blokes don't billow smoke
About a broke world near the end
I'll hold quite well to what I hold is love
From the rims of my heart it brims
Oh found penny, I need some luck
Don't you tell me, "There's no such thing!"

[Chorus]
Found penny!
On my life, I'm gonna throw you up in the air
Found penny!
Oh, by tonight I'll be lost in the loops of her hair

[Verse 3]
A feather standing on its quill, a coin upon a reeded end
And balanced, one upon the other, in a thundering tempest wind--
Less likely is to define love and all that lies within
Oh, found penny, found penny, how tempting to pretend

[Chorus]
Found penny!
On my life, I'm gonna throw you up in the air
Found penny!
Oh, by tonight I'll be lost in the loops of her hair
Found penny!
On my life, I'm gonna throw you up in the air
Found penny!
Oh, by tonight I'll be lost in the loops of her hair
