Clementine Lyrics by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Americana

2012

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Drove she ducklings to the water every 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
[Verse 3]
Then the miner forty-niner soon began to peak and pine
Thought he oughta join his daughter, now he's with his Clementine
In my dreams she still does haunt me robed in garments soaked in brine
Though in life i used to hug her, in death I draw the line
[Chorus]
Clementine, Clementine
Oh my darling, Clementine
[Verse 4]
How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
So i kissed her little sister
And I forgot my Clementine
[Chorus]
Clementine, Clementine
Oh my darling, Clementine
Clementine, Clementine
You are lost and gone, Clementine
Clementine
[Chorus]
Clementine, Clementine
Oh my darling, Clementine
Clementine, Clementine
You are lost and gone, Clementine
[Outro]
Clementine
