I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover

(written 1927 by Mort Dixon, music by Harry Woods
recorded 1948 by Art Mooney and later by Carl Belew)

I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining, the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.
I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
