FARE-WELL EV-'RY OLD FA-MIL-IAR FACE,

Chorus
I'M LOOK-ING O-VER A FOUR LEAF CLO-VER THAT I O-VER-LOOKED BE-FORE
ONE LEAF IS SUN-SHINE, THE SEC-OND IS  RAIN,
THIRD IS THE RO-SES THAT GROW IN THE LANE
NO NEED EX-PLAIN-ING, THE ONE RE-MAIN-ING IS SOME-BO-DY I A-DORE,
I'M LOOK-ING O-VER A FOUR LEAF CLO-VER THAT I O-VER-LOOKED BE-FORE
