Текст (слова) песни «Clementine Blues (1963)»
Mean ol’ baby, she’s a mean ol’ baby girl.
She’s a mean little baby, she’s a mean little baby girl.
When you fall in love with her, she really upsets your world.
She’s got a man in every town, heartaches all around.
Yes, she’s got a man in every town, all got heartaches all around.
When you say baby do I love you, she gets her face all full of frowns.
She don’t love no one, she just wants someone to dog around.
Yes, she don’t love no one, just wants someone to dog around.
You give her your heart and all your money, she calls you an everyday clown.
She’s the type you can’t please, I don’t care what you do.
She’s the type you can’t please, I don’t care what you do.
Give her your heart and soul, she’ll give all your love to two.
Yes, you can’t trust her, no farther than you can throw her door.
Yes, you can’t trust her, no farther than you can throw your door.
Just as soon as you go to work in the mornin’, somebody comes into your back door.
Yes, she’s a mean little baby, they call her Clementine.
She’s a mean little baby, they calls her Clementine.
Her main aim in life is makin’ every good man whine.
She’s got such evil little ways she’ll slip right under you skin.
She’s got such cute little ways, she gets right under your skin.
And when you need her, she’s slipped out and gone again.
Well, if you run across this gal, please throw her out your mind.
Well, if you run across this gal, podnah throw it out your mind.
‘Cause she’ll win your love and your heart, she can treat you so unkind.
When you start cryin’, she’ll be laughin’ in your face.
When you begin cryin’, she starts laughin’ in your face.
She says, “I didn’t want you anyway, got somebody else in your place.”
You can’t quit her, you don’t want to kill her now.
Yes, you don’t want to quit her, yet you can’t let that gal alone.
You’ll keep on tryin’ to fight, til all your love is gone.
She’s a evil little woman, they call her Clementine.
Yes, she’s a evil little baby, they call her Clementine.
She’ll break you heart baby, there’s no sense in tryin’.
She’s a mean little baby, she’s a mean little baby girl.

She’s got a man in every town, heartaches all around.
