I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" is a song from 1927, written by Mort Dixon with music by Harry M. Woods. It was a hit for Art Mooney in 1948 and was largely popularized by him. In modern times the song is perhaps most associated with Merrie Melodies cartoons, as it appeared in several of them.[1] "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" is the official anthem of the Philadelphia MLS team support group, Sons of Ben
[edit] Lyrics
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
