She knew that Cody was the man she wanted

But she'd waited nearly all her life

Just one more trip to town to tell the boys good-bye
C G C
Then he'd be back to take her for his wife

(Don't you worry) Clementine
Cody saddled up and left his darlin'
Then rode to town the celebrate his plan
He told 'em this would be his last carousin'
I'm gonna settled down boys if I can
(With my darlin') Clementine
Someone said it must have been past midnight
When Cody had to face a jealous man
Another story goes that no one really knows
But it seems there was a dance hall girl called Nane
(Don't you tell) Clementine
We do know that a shot or two was heard from some back room
Then there was a silence in the place
Just one more trip to town but all his chips were down
They found Cody lyin' on his face
(Softly calling) Clementine
So buddies make a monument to lay down at his head
Sure you hate to leave your pal behind
Mother help your daughter put her wedding dress away
Cause Cody won't be ridin' back this time
(To his darlin') Clementine
