Clementine

In the dark hollow of the mountainIn des Berges finstrer Hahle
the miner August digs ingrabt der Bergmann August in
for his aunt's diamondsnach Brillanten seiner T anten
with his daughter Clementinemit der T ochter Clement in.

Delicate like a filly was his daughter,Zart wie'n Gaul war seine Tochter,
her hair was like grain.ihre Haare waren gran.
And the big herring tinsUnd die groaen Heringsdosen
she wore as shoes, Clementinetrug als Schuhe Clementin

Oh my darling, oh my darling,Oh mein Darling, oh mein Darling,
oh my darling Clementine.oh mein Darling Clementin.
Sweet trample feet,Zuckersaae Trampelfaae,
lovely head, straw within.habschen Kapfchen, Stroh darin.

Once she drove her ducksEinmal trieb sie hin zur Tranke
and the pig to the pond.ihre Enten und das Schwein.
Started stumbling, started bumblingKam ins Holpern, kam ins Stolpern
and fell into the river.und fiel in den Flua hinein.

And from the bottom, bubbles floatedUnd vom Grunde trieben Blasen
gigantic, like a zeppelin.riesengroa, wie'n Zeppelin
But I, worse, am no swimmer!Doch ich Schlimmer bin kein Schwimmer !
So I lost Clementine.So verlor ich Clementin.

Oh my darling...Oh mein Darling . . .

I miss her cash,Ich vermisse ihre Kasse,
and I lay down sadly.und ich leg mich traurig hin.
Counting her sisters since yesterdayKass' seit gestern ihre Schwestern
and forgetting Clementine.und vergesse Clementin

Oh my darling...Oh mein Darling .
