Oh my darling Clementine…

Totalmente INNAMORATO di questa versione. Non faccio che ascoltarla più di venti volte al giorno. Non so bene perchè lo scrivo qua ma tant’è.

In a cavern, in a canyon,
excavating for a mine…
Dwelt 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…
Drove she ducklings to the water
every morning just at nine,
stepped her foot 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…
In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
robed in garments soaked in brine.
How in life I used to hug her,
now she’s gone, I’ll draw the line….
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling, Clementine…
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine…
