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)
