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

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)

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
