I’m Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover

(Verse)
Farewell, every old familiar face
It's time to go
It's time to go
Backward, backward to the little place
I left behind
So long ago
Oh watch Mr. Casey Jones
Carry this lazybones
I should arrive in a day
Only wait
Till I communicate
Here's just what I'll say:

(Chorus)
I'm looking over
A four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain
Third are the roses that grow in the lane
No need explaining
The one remaining
Is someone that I adore
I'm looking over
A four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before

(instrumental break)

(Verse 2)
Hello, homestead in the new-mown hay
I'm glad I'm here
I'm glad I'm here
Hello, humble mill across the way
Beside the pond
So cool and clear
Right through my sweetie's home
Oh, what a place to roam
She'll be as glad as can be
Up the trail
And over hill and dale
Don't you envy me

(Chorus 2)
I'm looking over
A four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sweetheart, the second is dad
Third is the best pal that I ever had
No need explaining
The one remaining
Is home where I'll weep no more
I'm looking over
A four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before
