Píseň: Clementine

Interpret:
Neil Young
Album:
Americana (Neil Young & Crazy Horse)
In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine


Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.


[Chorus:]
Clementine! Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!


Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.


Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.


[Chorus]
Clementine! Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!


How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
So I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.


[Chorus]
Clementine! Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
