Miss Clementine

Start

Verse 1

Oh, I met her by the bakery where the cinnamon rolls do shine,

She was carryin' a pie and a pocketful of thyme.

With a wink and a giggle, she said, “Sir, are you in line?”

I tipped my hat and answered, “Only if your heart is mine!”

Chorus

Ohhh, Miss Clementine, won't you dance me down the lane?

With your parasol and perfume, drivin' all the gents insane.

You got sugar in your step and mischief in your eyes,

And I swear by the moon, you’re my favorite surprise!

Verse 2

We strolled past ol’ McDougal’s, where the phonograph did play,

She hummed a tune so sweet, it near stole my blues away.

Bought her licorice and taffy at the general store nearby,

She said, “A man who buys me candy just might be my kind o’ guy!”

Chorus

Ohhh, Miss Clementine, let’s go courtin’ by the square,

I’ll comb my hair with pomade and pretend not to stare.

You got sunshine in your laugh and marzipan on your mind,

And I’d sell my boots to call you mine, Miss Clementine!
