Butterfly Luck.
If a butterfly sit on your hand,
You'll be the loveliest in the land.
You'll be the loveliest in the land.
If a butterfly sit on your head,
A handsome man (girl) you're sure to wed.
A handsome man (girl) you're sure to wed.
If a butterfly sit on your arm,
No one will ever wish you harm.
No one will ever wish you harm.
If a butterfly sit on your thumb,
Good luck is coming or soon will come.
Good luck is coming or soon will come.

If a butterfly sit on your wrist,
A pretty girl waits, and wants to be kissed.
A pretty girl waits, and wants to be kissed.
If a butterfly touch you with its wing,
It's a sign you will wear a diamond ring.
It's a sign you will wear a diamond ring.
If a butterfly sit on your hat,
You will have a gift, and a fine one at that.
You will have a gift, and a fine one at that.
If a butterfly sit on a post,
It's a sign that you, never will see a ghost.
It's a sign that you, never will see a ghost.
But if you harm a butterfly,
As a wretched old beggar you will die.
As a wretched old beggar you will die.
