(The early Celts and Druids considered the four-leaf clover lucky. It was thought to protect the owner from disease as well as curses from 'dark' witches. Some believed it gave the owner 'second sight'.)

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.
