Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
[Verse 2]
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
[Verse 3]
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold-covered mattress
On which he was laid
[Verse 4]
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
[Verse 5]
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
[Verse 6]
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
[Verse 7]
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
[Verse 8]
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
