(Oh my darlin' Clementine)

C F C

She knew that Cody was the man she wanted

G C

But she'd waited nearly all her life

C F C

Just one more trip to town to tell the boys good-bye

C G C

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

(Don't you worry) Clementine

Cody saddled up and left his darlin'

Then rode to town the celebrate his plan

He told 'em this would be his last carousin'

I'm gonna settled down boys if I can

(With my darlin') 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 dance hall girl called Nane

(Don't you tell) Clementine

We do know that a 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 lyin' 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 ridin' back this time

(To his darlin') Clementine
