Good Luck Charm - Elvis Presley (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Good Luck Charm (Elvis Presley, 1962). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-03-25. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Good Luck Charm," written by Aaron Schroeder and Wally Gold, was Elvis' 17th #1 hit over a six year period on the Billboard Hot 100 chart landing there in 1962 (Whitburn, 2013). Interestingly, not much of a good luck charm, this release was a pivotal point in Presley's run of #1 hits. This song was his last #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart until 7 years later when his final #1 hit was released, "Suspicious Minds;" from 1962, he still had 10 top 10 hits through the rest of his career (A. Hanson, elvis-history-blog.com, Sep. 2010; Whitburn, 2013). Publishing rights to the song led to a law suite and the exit of many of the great song writers from working with Elvis again (A. Hanson, elvis-history-blog.com, Sep. 2010).

Lyrics:

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

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.
