Farewell ev'ry old familiar face, It's time to go, it's time to go Backward backward to the little place I left behind, so long ago Now watch Mister Casey Jones Carry this lazy bones I should arrive in the day Only wait till I communicate Here's just what I'll say: I'm looking over a four-leaf clover That I overlooked before Now one leaf is the sunshine.the second is the rain. Third are the roses that grow in the lane. No need complaining, the one remaining Is someone that I adore. I'm looking over a four-leaf clover That I overlooked before. Hello homestead in the new-mown hay I'm glad I'm here, I'm glad I'm here Hello humble mill across the way Beside the pond so cool and clear Right to my sweeties home Oh what a place to roam She'll be as glad as can be Up the trail and over hill and dale Don't you envy me I'm looking over a four-leaf clover That I overlooked before One leaf is sweetheart, the second is dad Third is the best pal that I ever had No need complaining, the one remaining Is home where I'll weep no more I'm looking over a four-leaf clover That I overlooked before.
