In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner forty niner And his daughter Clementine. Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes, without topses Sandals were for Clementine. Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine. Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine. Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles, soft and fine But, alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine. Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine. Then the miner, forty niner He began to peak and pine Thought he oughta join his daughter Now he sleeps with Clementine. In my dreams she still doth haunt me Robed in garments, soaked in brine Though in life I used to hug her Now she's dead, I draw the line. Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine. How I missed he, how I missed her How I missed my Clementine So I kissed her little sister And I forgot my Clementine. Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine. Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine. Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine, Clementine. Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine. Clementine, Clementine You are lost been gone, Clementine. Clementine.

Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? Who's gonna wake you up To that big surprise? Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? You say that all your life You've been a free bird There's been nobody over you And you always have to Have the last word Because one feels better than two. Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? Who's gonna wake you up To that big surprise? Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? You say your life's Like riding on a fast train It's easy to see far away But right up close It's just a blurry haze Flyin' by from day to day. Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes?

I could live inside a tepee I could die In Penthouse thirty-five You could lose me on the freeway But I would still Make it back alive As long as we can sail away As long as we can sail away There'll be wind in the canyon Moon on the rise As long as we can sail away See the losers in the best bars Meet the winners in the dives Where the people are the real stars All the rest of their lives As long as we can sail away As long as we can sail away There'll be wind in the canyon Moon on the rise As long as we can sail away There's a road Stretched out between us Like a ribbon on the high plain Down from Phoenix through Salinas 'Round the bend and back again As long as we can sail away As long as we can sail away There'll be wind in the canyon Moon on the rise As long as we can sail away As long as we can sail away

If I could hold on to just one thought For long enough to know Why my mind is moving so fast And the conversation is slow. Burn off all the fog And let the sun through to the snow Let me see your face again Before I have to go. I have seen you in the movies And in those magazines at night I saw you on the barstool when You held that glass so tight. And I saw you in my nightmares But I'll see you in my dreams And I might live a thousand years Before I know what that means. Once there was a friend of mine Who died a thousand deaths His life was filled with parasites And countless idle threats. He trusted in a woman And on her he made his bets Once there was a friend of mine Who died a thousand deaths.
