It rained the night away, the day I left the mine A banjo on my knee, Susannah don't you cry Our wagon lost a wheel, along the rocky wind I'll make it up to you, my darlin' Clementine HANG ON (HANG ON), CLEMENTINE HANG ON, CLEMENTINE HANG ON (HANG ON), CLEMENTINE HANG ON, CLEMENTINE I sold the farm for gold-That's how the story tells Against your very will, I bought a wishing well-Yes I did! The days indeed were hard, and fortune was not mine I will return to you, my darlin' Clementine (CHORUS 2x) (CHORUS to fade)
