Talk:College Songs/Oh My Darling Clementine

Humorous Version (last verse)

Listen Boy Scouts, heed the warning

In this tragic tale of mine,

Artificial respiration,

Would have saved my Clementine!

Slightly different verses from other versions

...

Walking lightly as a fairy,

Though her shoes were number nine

Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,

Lovely girl, my Clementine.

...

There's a churchyard on a hillside,

Where the flowers bloughs entwine,

They grow roses amongst the posies,

Fertilized by Clementine

…

In a church yard, by the hillside,

There grow roses well entwined,

And some posies 'mongst the roses,

Sprung to life by Clementine

...

How I missed her! How I missed her,

How I missed my Clementine,

But I kissed her little sister,

I forgot my Clementine.

...

Thought I missed her, til I kissed her

Little sister that one time

Now I hardly think about her

My poor darling, Clementine

...

I'm so lonely, lost without her,

Wish I'd had a fishing line,

Which I might have cast about her,

Might have saved my Clementine.

...

In my dreams she still doth haunt me,

Robed in garments soaked with brine,

Then she rises from the waters,

And I kiss my Clementine

...

Now you kids [or Scouts] may learn the moral

Of this little tale of mine

Artificial respiration

Would have saved my Clementine
