I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover
Do you remember this old song? It was written in 1927--lyrics by Mort Dixon, music by Harry Woods. It was popularized by Art Mooney in 1948.I have looked over many, many four leaf clovers back in my younger days. On many hot summer days my friends and I would find a grassy lawn with a shade tree and plop ourselves down on a spot that had a lot of clover. We searched for four leaf clovers and we found a lot of them. I don't know why we did it, except that maybe we thought it would bring us some good luck-- which is what four leaf clovers are supposed to do. I never saw any results of that saying working. But we did spend a lot of time doing it anyway.
I would place my clovers in a book between the pages and let them dry. Sometimes we found clovers with five leaves. We hoped they would bring double good luck. I really don't know whatever happened to my collection over the years. But I do remember having a ball looking for them with my friends. Maybe my long and healthy life is the good luck they brought me!
I see a little bit of clover in my lawn sometimes and I don't really look for any four leafed ones but it does takes me back to those good old days so long ago.
