Lyrics

[Verse 1] Near a cavern, in the canyon In the shadow of the hill It was there I kept a cathouse With my oldest brother Bill [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 2] Though at first, we didn't prosper Soon we started doing fine When a girl came down from Gloucester By the name of Clementine [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forevеr Dreadful sorry, Clementinе [Verse 3] She was plain, she was scrawny She had no gift of gab But she had the kind of quim, boys That would reach right out and grab [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 4] Then the nights were filled with music The days were filled with song Our safe was stuffed with money Clementine was stuffed with dong [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 5] But one day there came a stranger This time she'd met her match He had a rifled member She had a smooth-bore snatch [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 6] Brother Bill was first to notice He shouted to her, "Turn!" But before those words were spoken She was spilt from stem to stern [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 7] We tore that dude to pieces He was dead within the hour And we left his cursed member For the coyotes to devour [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 8] Every day down by the graveyard When they toll the mission bell We all lay a wreath of roses 'Round the quim we loved so well [Chorus] Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
