Clementine

Oh my darling Clemen- tine

How could I leave, while you were sleep- ing

Oh my darling Clemen – tine

I couldn’t bear to hear you weep- ing

You tried to teach me right from wrong

You tried to burn off all my bad ways

But misery’s a stubborn friend

And she per sists in spite of good days

So I sailed from your white sands

On a ship of broken plans

And your face is on my mind

Oh my darling Clemen tine

Oh my lovely Clemen tine

It’s such a hell to be with- out you

My soul tormented every night

And every day, I think a- bout you

I a-dored your foolish charm

Never meant to do you harm

And your pain is on my mind

Oh my darling Clemen tine

Oh my precious Clemen tine

I never dared to look be hind me

All this time I ran and ran

And I ran a-ground, and I pray you’ll find me

And with all the bad I’ve done

I rea- lise that you’re the one

And I hope you’ll still be mine

Oh my darling Clemen tine

And with all the bad I’ve done

I rea lise that you’re the one

I’m such a fool, will you be mine

Oh my darling Clemen tine
