Lyrics

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