Good Luck Charm
Elvis Presley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want a four leaf clover
Don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss 'cause I just can't miss
With a good luck charm like you

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

Don't want a silver dollar
Rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit's foot can bring

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

If I found a lucky penny
I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm




A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

Cette chanson est charmante!

Pleine d amour, pleine de charme!


Lors de sa jeunnesse, Elvis Presley avait un talent naturel pour chanter des chansons très variées, comme le rock qui était très àcrobatique, très rythme, les gospels étaient magnifiques à écouter, avec les choristes qui avaient des voix en or!

The back ground singer on this song is my Grandfather, Gordon Stoker. He left this earth in 2013, but I am still so blessed to be able to hear him in the songs he sang!

Well, also Ray Walker is singing. He's the bass. But- its mostly just Pop (Thats what we called my grandfather) singing.

@dusanilic7276

This is one of the nicest songs Elvis ever recorded, and that sound and background singing is so important. Thanks for posting!
