He went to fight wars for his country & his kin.

Of his honor and his glory the people would sing.

Oooooo, what a lucky man he was.

A bullet, it found him, his blood ran as he cried.

Nobody could save him, so he lay down and he died.

Oooooo, what a lucky man he was.

Ah---------. Ah-----------. Ah. [5x]
