OLD 97'S
"4 Leaf Clover"
(Rhett Miller)

[Long Instrumental Intro]

I got a four-leaf clover
It ain't done one single lick of good
I'm still a drunk and I'm still a loser
Living in a lousy neighborhood

I got a real live horseshoe
And I hung it upside-down above my door
But it don't do nothing to impress you
So I don't know what the hell it's for

[Chorus:]
Why don't you come over?
I'll show you my four-leaf clover
Who'm I trying to kid?
I'm not the kind of guy you'd go for...
I got a four-leaf clover
But I ain't got no hope of getting you

[Instrumental bridge]

I got a lucky silver dollar
Granddad gave it to me, now he's dead
At times like this, I wish that I could join him
Might just stop this pounding in my head

[Chorus:]
Why don't you come over?
I'll show you my four-leaf clover
Oh, who'm I trying to kid?
I'm not the kind of guy you'd go for...
I got a four-leaf clover
But I ain't got no hope of getting you
No, I ain't got no hope of getting you
No, I ain't got no hope of getting you...ou...
