Emerson, Lake & Palmer:Lucky Man
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
With 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 honour 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 lay down and he died
Ooh what a lucky man he was
Ooh what a lucky man he was
Live Version (1973)
Crazy
He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Oh what a lucky man he was (was was was was)
Oh what a lucky man he was (was was was was)
With white lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led
Oh what a lucky man he was (was was was was)
Oh what a lucky man he was (was was was was)
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honour and his glory (glory glory glory)
The people sing
Oh what a lucky man he was (was was was was)
Oh what a lucky man he was (was was was was)
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he lay down
And he died (died died)
Live Version (2001)
Merci beaucoup.
For those of you who aren't shy, you're most welcome to sing along with this next song; it's called Lucky Man.
He had white horses
Ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
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
Gold covered mattress
On which he was led
Ooh what a lucky man he was
Ooh what a lucky man he was
Alright
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 lay down and he died
Ooh what a lucky man he was
Ooh what a lucky man he was
Aa-ah
