about

"Lucky Man" is a song by the English progressive rock supergroup Emerson, Lake & Palmer, from the group's 1970 self-titled debut album. Written by Greg Lake when he was 12 years old and recorded by the trio using improvised arrangements, the song contains one of rock music's earliest instances of a Moog synthesizer solo. "Lucky Man" was released as a single in 1970 and reached the top 20 in the Netherlands. The song also charted in the United States and Canada. The single was re-released in 1973 and charted again in the U.S. and Canada.

lyrics

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
(Guitar solo)
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
