Clementine

So today is was procrastinating and for some reason i was Googling some old nursery rhymes and songs they made us sing back in primary school, like 10 years ago, and i came across that song 'Clementine'. i don't know if you remember it or if you know it but have you ever actually looked at how crazy the lyrics are?? For a nursery rhyme, it's pretty disturbing! Especially the last 3 versus (not including the chorus)

In a cavern, in a canyon

Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses

Sandals were for Clementine

[Chorus]

Drove her ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine 

Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine

[Chorus]

Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

[Chorus]

Then the miner, forty-niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he oughta join his daughter
Now he's with his Clementine

[Chorus]

There's a churchyard on the hillside
Where the flowers grow and twine
There grow roses, amongst the posies
Fertilized by Clementine

[Chorus]

In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garlands soaked in brine
Though in life I used to hug her
Now she's dead, I draw the line

[Chorus]

Now you scouts may learn the moral
Of this little tale of mine
Artificial respiration
Would have saved my Clementine

[Chorus]

How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
Till I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

i mean. wtf.

for a child?

wtf.
