EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER  – Lucky Man ( 1970 )

Keyboards: Keith Emerson
Bass: Greg Lake
Drums: Carl Palmer

 

                                               He had white Horses
                                               And ladies by the score
                                               All dressed in satin
                                               And waiting by the door

                                               Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
                                               Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

                                               White lace and feathers
                                               They made up his bed
                                               A gold covered mattress
                                               On which he was laid

                                               Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
                                               Ooooh, 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

                                               Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
                                               Ooooh, 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

                                               Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
                                               Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
