HAPPY-GO-LUCKY - "Carefree, unconcerned. This is the only meaning of the phrase today, and it dates from the 19th century. Herman Melville has it in 'Moby Dick' (1851): 'A happy-go-lucky; neither craven nor valiant.' An earlier meaning was haphazard, as luck would have it. It is seen in Edward Arber's 'An English Garner' (1699): 'The Redcoats cried, 'Shall we fall in order, or go happy-go-lucky?'" From "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985).

i think it is usually used to describe someone's general attitude about things. if they are happy go lucky it means that they don't worry about more serious issues because they are just happy to be alive and believe that everything will work out in the end.

It means you just do things without thinking and hope you get lucky so you'll be happy in the end.
