    💕 English Lyrics 💕
    In a cavern, in a canyon
    Excavating for a mine
    Lived a miner, forty-niner
    And his daughter, Clementine
    Oh my darling, oh my darling
    Oh my darling, Clementine
    You are lost and gone forever
    Dreadful sorry, Clementine
    Light she was and like a fairy
    And her shoes were number nine
    Herring boxes, without topses
    Sandals were for Clementine
    Oh my darling, oh my darling
    Oh my darling, Clementine
    You are lost and gone forever
    Dreadful sorry, Clementine
    Drove she ducklings to the water
    Ev'ry morning just at nine
    stubbed her toe against a splinter
    Fell into the foaming brine
    Oh my darling, oh my darling
    Oh my darling, Clementine
    You are lost and gone forever
    Dreadful sorry, Clementine
    Ruby lips above the water
    Blowing bubbles, soft and fine
    But, alas, I was no swimmer
    So I lost my Clementine
    Oh my darling, oh my darling
    Oh my darling, Clementine
    You are lost and gone forever
    Dreadful sorry, Clementine
    How I missed her! How I missed her
    How I missed my Clementine
    until I kissed her little sister
    and forgot my Clementine
    Oh my darling, oh my darling
    Oh my darling, Clementine
    You are lost and gone forever
    Dreadful sorry, Clementine

      It’s not the full song. In the full song, the miner kills himself to be with her, how the narrator won’t hug her anymore because that’s going too far, both of their (Clementine and her father’s) bodies fertilize the church flowers, finally ending with the narrator getting with Clementine’s little sister (included that part in the song).

    Few people know all the words and the sadness of the story. Being in love with a miner's daughter during the CA gold rush in 1849 (which is why they got nicknamed 49-ers) Apparently didn't have much wealth as she wore boxes as shoes. She trips and falls in the river and drowns. Then some versions include kissing the sister which is even more creepy. I heard it sung at a summer kids camp once and the last verse was made up encouraging young people to learn to swim.

    • @Mrbg123
      @Mrbg123 2 роки тому +2

      The song is actually a parody of the sad ballads of the time. If you break the lines down you see it, for example you don’t lead ducks to water because you will fall in, and also why would she be bringing the ducks to a foaming brine (rushing water) because they would drown. The last creepy lines are a joke thrown in at the end.

    Who's here from "The Ballad of song birds and snakes" book? It's my first time hearing this song and while waiting the movie release, I know, I'll be haunted for ages with this another orchestra composition if they find a chance taking this in the movie. Gosh. All my childhood favorite nursery song was turning darker and lonely as I get older, realizing they're the representation of what lies ahead from my dreamland. Why is that? 😵

    Wait, so is the song based on an actual thing that happened in real life? Seems like it.
    Also, the sing is very nice! Reminds me of my grandma.

    Tbh Im only here because of the background music of the original Scooby Doo. In some of the tracks, they just bust out a banjo and will play bits of this or I've Been Working on The Railroad. But its crazy how many people here seem to not have heard this song before whatever show they came from.
