Clementine,
O Clementine,
Will you be
my Valentine?
Will you receive my li’l rose
And come
with me to dine?
Out of my window,
I see
you walk
down the street
My heart a
hundred times
has knelt at
your fair feet!
I couldn't
make myself do
In person
before you stand
Me a son of
a humble home
You a
princess of fairyland!
You float
over high clouds
While I walk
earthly roads
My hands so
rough and hard
Lifting,
porting heavy loads!
Finding you
as my Valentine
May remain a fool’s dream
You’ll never
turn your gaze
On a
penniless man to beam!
As your name
so declares
To stand a
moment, deign
Will you
receive my li'l rose
‘Ere as the queen you reign.
