From: Ed Pellow Clinton, Any idea as to who wrote / performed it - there are lots of songs called Lucky Man, from Bruce Springsteen, The Verve, ELP (as mentioned) and many others. It makes searching almost impossible without more info. Ed |

My friend Merle Roesler from Boston sang it a couple of weeks ago in her concert set at the NEFFA festival. I'll e-mail her to see if she can provide more lyrics and source info. |

From: GUEST,Jimmy LUCKY MAN (Grit Laskin) F C F G7 C I had no say in being born, F C Dm7 G7 Or where or when it happened to me F C F G7 C It's only chance that turned the wheel F Dm7 G7 And made my living easy. F Dm7 C F Dm7 G7 Oh, I am a lucky man, favored by good fortune's hand, F Dm7 G7 C Far more than I'm deserving. F C F G7 C I've had good work since I've been young, F C Dm7 G7 Mastered a trade, my business thriving F C F G7 C Yet thousands idly bide their days, F Dm7 G7 No job means no surviving. F C F G7 C I share a love that's fair and true, F C Dm7 G7 A marriage have I that's rich with pleasure. F C F G7 C Yet there are those whose wedding vows F Dm7 G7 Are shackles that embitter. F C F G7 C There's some who die for want of bread, F C Dm7 G7 There's some are killed for seeking freedom F C F G7 C Yet I have more of what they crave F Dm7 G7 Than ever I'll be needing.

28 Apr 00 - 05:51 PM (#219727) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lucky Man??? From: GUEST,Jimmy Clinton, after serious reflection (Yeah, for about 0.00000001 of a second!) - I'll take the pint. A true story along the same line. Many years ago, I was having a pint in my local (Scotland) when a bunch of Young Conservatives (these are the kind of folks that Monty Python's "Upper Class Twit Of The Year" sketch was based on) wandered in with big lapel buttons which read "Kiss Me - I'm Conservative!" Well, Big Ian, the Scottish Nationalist, who had a huge, full beard, grabs one of these pretty boys in a bear hug (actually, if you put Big Ian and a bear in a line-up, you'd have dificulty deciding which was who) and gives him a big smacker full on the lips for about 20 seconds. I have never seen buttons disappear faster than I did that night. I never saw the slogan used ever again. |
