Clementine (Original Mix)

Oh my darling Clementine

She knew that Cody was the man

She wanted but she had waited nearly all her life

Just one more trip to town to tell

The boys goodbye

Then he'd be back to take her for his wife

Don't you worry Clementine

Cody saddled up and left his darling

Then rode to town to celebrate his plan

He told em this would be his last carousing

I'm gonna settle down boys if I can

With my darling Clementine

Someone said it must have been past midnight

When Cody had to face a jealous man

Another story goes that no one really knows

But it seems there was a dancehall girl called Nan

Don't you tell Clementine

We do know that the shot or two

Was heard from some back room

Then there was a silence in the place

Just one more trip to town

But all his chips were down

They found Cody lying on his face

Softly calling Clementine

So buddies make a monument

To lay down at his head

Sure you hate to leave your pal behind

Mother help your daughter

Put her wedding dress away

Cause Cody won't be riding back this time

To his darling Clementine
