Oh My Sweetheart, Clementine

Oh my sweet love, Clementine
I remembered when you were fine
But now you are lost for eternity
And you will no longer be with me

I miss your kisses and your face
I miss the way you lightened up the place
But now you’re very deep under water
All because you were no swimmer

Oh my sweetheart, Clementine
Do you remember when I was fine?
I drank some pills, though I was healthy
And now I have you right beside me
