Down among the whisperin' pines

And the honey suckle vines

There's a very peaceful scene

That is where it all begins

(Ah one, two, three)



In a cavern, crazy cavern, excavatin' for a mi-ine

Lived a daddy of all daddies and a chick named Clementine

She drove the jeep down to the jeep joint

Every evenin' just at ni-ine

Hoppin' boppin', struttin' strollin'

Rockin' rollin', Clementine



Dig it da-addy, dig it daddy (Clementine, Clementine)

Till you see those nuggets shi-ine (Clementine, Clementine)

Dig it daddy of all daddies (Clementine, Clementine)

Try that rich spot, Clementine (Clementine)

She drove the jeep down to the jeep joint (Clementine, Clementine)

Every evenin' just at ni-ine (Clementine, Clementine)

Hoppin', boppin', struttin' strollin' (Clementine, Clementine)

Rockin' rollin', Clementine (Oh... Clementine)



She was jumpin' in the jeep joint (Clementine, Clementine)

And her daddy didn't know-ow (Clementine, Clementine)

And a cat came from the city (Clementine, Clementine)

Stole her from her daddy-o (Clementine, Clementine)

She drove the jeep down to the jeep joint (Clementine, Clementine)

Every evenin' just at ni-ine (Clementine, Clementine)

Hoppin' boppin', struttin' strollin (Clementine, Clementine)

Rockin' rollin', Clementine (Oh... Clementine)



(Clementine)

When her daddy came to get her (Clementine, Clementine)

All the joint was jumpin' fine (Clementine, Clementine)

And the cat said dad forget her (Clementine, Clementine)

She's a real down Clementine (Clementine, Clementine)

She drove the jeep down to the jeep joint (Clementine, Clementine)

Every evenin' just at ni-i
