Clementine

Oh my darling Clementine, how could I leave while you were sleeping? Oh my darling Clementine, I couldn't bear to hear you weeping. You tried to teach me right from wrong, and you tried to burn off all my bad ways. But misery's a stubborn friend, and she persists, in spite of good days. So I sailed from your white sands, on a ship of broken plans. And your face was on my mind, oh my darling Clementine. Oh my lovely Clementine, it's such a hell to be without you. My soul tormented every night, and every day, I think about you. I adored you foolish charm, never meant to do you harm. And your pain was on my mind. Oh my darling Clementine. Oh my precious Clementine, I never dared to look behind me. All this time I ran and ran, and I ran aground, and I pray you'll find me. And with all the bad I've done, I realize that you're the one. And I hope you'll still be mine, Oh my darling Clementine.
