Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waking you up to close the bar
The street's wet you can tell by the sound of the cars
Bartender's singing "Clementine"
While he's turning around the open sign
[Verse 2]
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Though you're still her man
It seems a long time gone
Maybe the whole thing's wrong
[Verse 3]
What if she thinks so but just didn't say so?
You drank yourself into slo-mo
Made an angel in the snow
Anything to pass the time
And keep that song out of your mind
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
