Neil Young - Clementine Lyrics
In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.
[Chorus:]
Clementine! Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
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.
[Chorus]
Then the miner forty niner
Soon began to peak and pine.
Thought he ought'er join his daughter,
Now he's with his Clementine.
In my dreams she still does haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked in brine.
Though in life I used to hug her,
In death I draw the line.
[Chorus]
How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
So I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.
[Chorus]

Neil Young Clementine Comments
Coolest version of Valentine! :o)
Boring!
Psychedelic Pill, Neil Young and Crazy Horse's last great album, now all we get is utter garbage, with him playing with crap bands or trash solo albums.
Louis on TWD season four!
Louis... TWD... What's your point?
Still Not Bitten
Agee that this is a dark haunting tune .Astounding
hombre , you work the gold pan wrong in the video .
so dark
WHY is this not on the f...n radio? Sure sounds good with headphones ! Is this the last album he did with Crazy H ?
Neil always finds these cool pictures to complement his tunes!
The "panning for gold" stuff goes great with the punky tempo of "Clementine"!!!
It's all about the "Gold".....
Why does my blood run cold everytime I hear the "So I kissed her little sister and forgot my Clementine" line?
The miner had two daughters whom he loved as a father. The little sister was his younger daughter. He had to keep on living for her after he lost Clementine.
My favorite, "In life I used to hug her, in death I draw the line"
kiwizeppelin because you have a sick mind.
Be you Warlock? If so it should -and speed the draw.
Neil and Poncho = Magic
Neil Young can take an old folk song and make it metal as fuck.
Before this excellent version, I'd only ever huckleberry hound sing this.
... surprised to discover 'her shoes were number 9' were the real words!
Don't fuck with ol neil he has good karma on his side
BEST SONG! BEST SOUND!
insight and very original..tks bud
Sip mcgi
Lee..... =(
Kenny = (
Walking Dead feelings....

clementineeee clemintineee clementineeeeee i eat your heart :o huashuashuhsuasuhasash clementineee neil young and best songss
Clementine gets a new outfit: Great!
Howard Seth She was too poor. One garment for each child.
WILD and about as dark as the song is... there was a first Rock and Roll version of this in 1959 by Jan and Dean ... Jan Berry of Jan and Dean was Bruce Berry's oldest brother, if you are a Neil Young fan you know who Bruce Berry is... Jan Berry was the first real genius of rock and roll with an IQ over 185...
Thanks for the tip... Wow how the conception of this song and instrumental style changed since 59' and that was the time of the great electric guitar designs and amps.
Man, that is absolutely fascinating! Thanks for that knowledge/trivia which is all news to me. I love learning any tidbits about one of my all-time heroes. I really dig this punky rendition!... Just to clarify, I was aware that "Bruce Berry was a workin' man" & "he used to load that Econoline van." and that "a sparkle was in his eye but his life was in his hands" etc., but I had no idea that Jan Berry was his bro. So thanks for that sad but cool factoid.
it is not that changed, it is what it is, In this case is Neil Young and Crazy Horse, and that has to have a particular character because they are titans of a tradition, The original tune mention here, is the original and it is still there
Good Song
Great experience Neil, once again
Eeerie!
il rock
Thank You Neil,Again
GENIAL!!!!!! todo el disco en si, desde la primera a la última, AMERICANA gran disco, si señor
GENITALS!
check my channel if ya can
The darkness is brilliant.
NEIL POR SIEMPRE......
NEIL IS THE KID BRILLIANT'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Neil`s the man
I love it. My grandma used to sing the song to me so it's nice to hear it in a new way.
What a great tune .Neil Youngs last 2 albums are as good in my mind as anything in his catalogue of astounding albums
Neil You can do everything! see u soon in lucca 25th July 2013!!!! Love your music. LOVE U and the horse!!!
is there anything Neil Young can't ruin?
Fantastic images and a great song.
My favourite song of 2012
Real Old School! Men in studio... couple of hour´s and out! That´s it! No time wasting...
I gotta tell you I'm addicted to this album, I play it constantly, Neil Young never disappoints.
Lord, he could sing 'Jack and Jill' and turn it into a rock anthem, no problem.
Neil he can't do no wrong, just love the man, we all love Clementine Neil no worries!
keep that hair short sweat pea.
There at the end, is that Tommy Chong talking to Neil about the chord progression?
I liked my dad's version better....
Great music & video, tnx
Wow!!! I'm totally raptured!! As Sérgio Reis, "old pot is what makes food good" ...
Neil Young is amazing. Yes, there are still a few 65-year-old rock stars out there who are still active, who still tour, and who still (try to) make new music. Only one continues to make music that is relevant. Without a doubt, Neil Young has taken a few strange detours over the years, but, every time you count him out and think that, perhaps, his time is finally past, he shocks you with something amazing. I defy you to find me someone half Mr. Young's age making music this good today.
When I first heard Neil was releasing this album, I thought, "Oh, great. Crazy Horse is doing the classics. Ho-hum."
But Americana just blew me the F away. This is just great, great rock and roll. Wow. WOW.
Neil and Crazy Horse truly are like fine wine. They just keep getting better.
"Hit her foot agaist a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine.
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine
But, alas, I was no good swimmer
So I lost my Clementine.
How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
So I kissed her litle sister
And I forgot my Clementine."
All I hear is the American Indians an a land long forgotten.......
I love when Neil says my name like this... <3
What a sound what a sound what a sound, oh my...
Awsome, loves it.
Wow, that place in the countryside sounds good. 10 miles no individuum. If I come one time to america ,I will stay there. Greetings from germany ,from a big fan of Neil.
I wonder where they got these films. This looks like northern California
How different today, everything is just push a button, for the better im not so sure.
Only good song on the album, but it alone is worth the purchase price!
Let's be honest. Only Neil Young can do this. He could sind the books of the Bible and it would still be the shit.
Because anything he does is the shit.
Neil is the man. The Keeper of the Flame. Long may you run Neil, there ain't no one like you, not even Mr. Gilmour.
Hey Hey. Rock and Roll is here to stay.
It's all one big shit anyways! Here's another piece of crap for ya! I love you Neil Young!
Neil young Rules!!!
Guess he shouldn't have written Ohio or Southern Man, either....fool.
I'm sure you have...fool.
The Muse isn't here to satisfy your needs.
I remember singing this song in elementary school; wish it had been version.
You can fuck off and go listen garage kids!!!!!!!
You pathetic fool!
Great images on the videos. Absolute Americana. Great memories.
thank you neil from my heart i love it!
Terrible! The whole album is this unlistenable, too. I've heard better singing and playing from the middle-school kids in my neighborhood, who are getting their garage band going.
Most of todays 'rock bands' would benefit from locking themselves in a listening chamber with this album on repeat. The emotion, the camaraderie, the community that Neil and Crazy Horse bring to this album(like all their albums) is so inspiring. I love the imperfections, the honesty, the places you go when you listen. Thanks Neil and Crazy Horse for another gem!
and teach a new generation the true definition of heaviness, as 70something year old men in a world gone retarded
das kommentar wurde falsch
das ist das beste was ich je gehört hab ich hab mir das album gekauft clementine ist mein lieblingslied ich kann das album nur weiter empfelen
This is a great video for the song!
Got this album a couple of days ago. Love it. Crazy Horse still rock. It's another year of the horse.
Awesome, as ever!
To the haters that do not get this album, you must understand that these are songs from an age of innocence when our great nations were still under construction. In today's fast paced world, these traditional songs were on the abyss of becoming lost forever on the current generation. Neil young aims to bring some life back to the songs that our grandparents grew up singing as children!
Keep on rockin in the free world

"I thought it should have gone back to the F# minor."
what were you expecting? Dream Theater? It's Neil young man, kick back and jam
oh my darling
no not vedder like, vedder may sound like neil at times but not the other way around
DAMN, does Neil blow the doors off the joint with this one.
It has a grungy kind of sound to it, Vedder like.
THEY'RE FUCKING BACK! FUCK YES
it's a name of a girl:)
Not sure why they chose to do this.....it's not very good, kind of boring actually. Crazy Horse has always been one of my favorite bands but this just sounds like a bunch of old friends jamming without much thought put into it.
NEIL YOUNG AND CRAZY HORSE LIVE IN AUSTRALIA WOULD BE SO PERFECT
Fantastic - we learned this at school here in the UK when I was a kid - but not like Neil sings it - I hated it back then - I love it this time :)
Wolstein Center- October 8th. We are SO there! Play Americana..play it all but PLEASE let us hear you guys play CHANGE YOUR MIND ! Cleveland awaits your arrival.Our ears are to the ground. The hoofbeats growing louder with every passing day.Like a fierce storm brewing...Bring on The Horse!
Wow.......this is pretty damn good........
Thumbs Up if you heard this on NPR.
CRAZY GOOD! When I first saw the track listing for "Americana", I thought that this could be a disaster. Then I bought the album and was inspired from the first to the last note. Only Neil could take this group of traditional songs and pull the true soul out of every one. I'm so inspired that I'm going camping up in the mountains this weekend. A perfect spot I know near Banff, Alberta where I can camp without anybody else within 10 miles. While, almost alone...Neil Young, Pocohantas and me.
Well said!!!
. . really SOON please :)
