She knew that Cody was the man she wanted but she had waited nearly all her life
She knew that Cody was the man she wanted but she had waited almost all her life
Just one more trip to town to tell the boys goodbye
Just one more trip to town to tell the boys goodbye
Then he'd be back to take her for his wife Clementine
Then he'd be back to take her for his wife Clementine
Cody saddled up and left his darling then rode to town to celebrate his plan
Cody saddled up and left his darling then rode to town to celebrate his plan
He told 'em this would be his last carousing
He told 'em this would be his last carousing
I'm gonna settle down boys if I can Clementine
I'm gonna settle down boys if I can Clementine
Someone said it must have been past midnight when Cody had to face a jealous man
Someone said it must have been past midnight when Cody had to face a jealous man
Another story goes that no one really knows
Another story goes that no one really knows
But it seems there was a dancehall girl called Nan Clementine
But it seems there was a dancehall girl called Nan Clementine
We do know that the shot or two was heard from some back room
We do know that the shot or two was heard from some back room
Then there was a silence in the place
Then there was a silence in the place
Just one more trip to town but all his chips were down
Just one more trip to town but all his chips were down
They found Cody lying on his face Clementine
They found Cody lying on his face Clementine
So buddies make a monument to lay down at his head
So buddies make a monument to lay down at his head
Sure you hate to leave your pal behind
Sure you hate to leave your pal behind
Mother help your daughter put her wedding dress away
Mother help your daughter put her wedding dress away
Cause Cody won't be riding back this time Clementine
Because Cody won't be riding back this time Clementine
