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
oh
what a lucky man he was
white lace and feathers
they made up his bed
a gold covered mattress
on which he was laid
oh
what a lucky man he was
oh
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
they would sing
oh
what a lucky man he was
oh
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
oh
what a lucky man he was
oh
what a lucky man he was
oh
what a lucky man he was
oh
what a lucky man he was
