THE DECEMBERISTS lyrics : "Clementine"


You slept in your overalls
After the wrecking ball

Bereft you of house and home
And left you with sweet $#&@-all
So we got in your car

With our kickabout hearts
And we hollared out 'sweet clementine'


Tell your mom to marry us
A candle to carry us
With cans on our bicycle fenders

So sweet and hilarious
And we'll find us a home
Built of packaging foam

That will be there 'til after we die

And, I'll play the clarinet

Use clamshells for castinets
We play with our bags on our shoulders
My sweet lady lioness

And I watch as you sleep
So indelibly deep
An I hum to you sweet clementine
