@@anubhutigupta9624 And this video is the dad singing the song but I've always felt it was like her fiancé. And at the end when he kisses her little sister and forgot about her it's because he decided to have a new wife now
IKR? I always imagined when they got married (yes i chose to romance Louis over Violet as I didnt like her character at all) this was the song he sang at their wedding.
The miner was a forty-niner, which means he was a part of the 1849 Gold Rush to California. Over 300,000 people moved to California after the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill was widely publicized. Inevitably, most of these people were not proper miners, and many were not even well equipped to make the journey west to start an expensive venture. In the song the miner has a daughter named Clementine. He can’t afford to buy her shoes, so she is wearing small wooden boxes on her feet, referred to as “herring boxes without topses. “ The boxes are also referred to as her sandals. Because she is wearing rough wooden boxes on her feet, she gets a splinter which causes her to stumble and fall into the water as she was driving the ducklings into the water. She drowned because her father, the miner, could not swim and therefore could not save her. “Dreadful sorry, Clementine,” he sings.
@@kukaliemikalie8157 I think that part is supposed to explain why he didn't at least TRY to save her. Most fathers would jump in, knowing they would drown, just to attempt a rescue. Just at a chance to save their daughter. Except this father has a SECOND daughter for which he is responsible and therefore couldn't die trying to save one daughter and possibly leaving the second daughter and orphan. Afterwards, he returns home and kisses the little sister, taking comfort in knowing that he made the best decision for at least one of his children, and trying to make his peace with the loss of his other daughter. Life was much, much harder in the 1800's than it is today. Losing children was not uncommon. You needed to accept the tragedy of it, move on with life, and be grateful for what you have.
I don't understand it, because it is supposed to be from the perspective of Clementine's lover, this means that the lover could not save her, not the father, that is, the "dreadful sorry" part refers to the lover and not the father
as a kid I always thought this song was so happy but now, fully understanding the lyrics, made really visualize the pain in the story this song brings.
Can people stop commenting “who came here after watching it’s okay to not be okay” If you have eyes that can see, you’ll be able to realize that half the comment section is about that
When My grandma was singing this song to me at bedtime, I remember asking her where Clementine go...and fall asleep picturing Clementine walking around the ocean and the father sitting in the porch gazing at the door on a cloudy day... Now I sing this song to my daughter and think about grandma who's gone forever...
My dad always sang me the Korean version of this when I was young. He stopped at verse four, so I thought the song was about the daughter getting married and going away from her dad...And now I just wish I never knew the full version. Childhood? Ruined.
@@byak6687 Translating roughly, it tells about a fisherman and his daughter living together, until the last part where they say "you have left your old father alone and gone far away". The last verse is up for interpretation tbh
Me. I just sang to my little son in Korean version and he felt asleep. I was the same i heard the korean verion in my childhood and now i sing for my little one.
There was a Korean version? Welp, I am just a tad less uneducated. Also, Cindy, I'm 60 and I'm just now getting the reference of how big Clementine's feet were, and the kind of humor some men have when they don't have much to entertain themselves with. But I still don't know where 'drove the ducklings' came from. I remember 'drove the horses'. I hope you cheered up by now.
If they kill off Clem, I will riot outside of Telltale Studios. *EDIT:* Thank you, Skybound, for not killing off one of the greatest video game characters of all time.

I find it both hilarious and saddening how everyone is misinterpreting this song, though it's understandable because only about half the verses are included in this rendition. It's a man mourning the loss of his girlfriend and then moving on to her sister(which was common in that day and area, as people were few and far between), not an incestuous father mourning his daughter and then getting with his other daughter. This song is meant to be darkly humorous.
My father was an Ex British Army officer. We are originally from Nepal. My father served in the British Army for almost 30 years. I still recall him singing this song and spoke high of British and Scottish. My father went to be with god in the year 2018. This song brings back memories of my father and fills my eyes with tears. Someday i will come to the UK where my father spent 30 years of his life to atleast pay a tribute to his soul ! Long live the friendship between Nepal and UK
Sorry to be "that guy" but British became used as a term after the union of England and Scotland to be inclusive, so "British and Scottish" is redundant. Without the union there would have been no "British".
@Chibiardo the song last kiss isn't even about the Wayne Cochran. It's about someone else. But he used that story to write a sad ass song. My fav is when Elvis plays it. There are 4 artist that cover Last kiss
My dad used to tell me about a fisherman and how he lost his daughter and sang this song to me. Now he recently passed away. Every time I hear this song reminds me of my dad 😭😭😭
Y'know, I see a lot of people misinterpreting this song in the comments, the meaning should be obvious, is about a father, the miner, who lost his daughter Clementine because he couldn't swim to save her and missed her deeply, but he had other daughter and was able to move on with his life.
Misinterpreting? The lyrics are quite clear that the narrator is not the father. It's someone who was in love with a miner's daughter, but couldn't save her when she drowned. Then (in the last verse) he kissed her younger sister and fell in love with her, so everything ended up fine. Like many folk songs, it's morphed and become genericized.
I actually came here because of Max Lobo from the movie " Banana fish". Ash was pissed off when he sang "Oh my darling clementine" again and again because he doesn't know the Lyrics 😭😂😭
Meaning of the song: A man describes how he lost his late girlfriend (Clementine) in a swimming accident. The man could not swim so he did nothing to save her. The man meets the girls sister and falls in love because the sister reminds him of Clementine. When he in in the company of the sister she reminds him of Clementine and the pain temporarily goes away. But the man has not forgotten his late lover and she will always be in his thoughts for the rest of his life. Note: The final lyrics to the song are "Dreadful sorry Clementine." This was my interpretation. I find it hard to believe that the writer would intend for Clementine to be simply forgotten after the man falls in love with her sister. It has happened many times in history where a man would bed the sister of his late lover because of the strong similarity. P.S. This video sounds so much better when you speed up the song to 1.25.
the introduction of the song is : "In a cavern in a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Lived a miner forty-niner, And his daughter Clementine." so the 3rd person is used. Then we hear the 1st person : "Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine." So obviously, the main character of the song, who says "I", speaks actually about Clementine (his late girlfriend, and her dad who was a miner - just in order to present the context, who she is, where she comes from. Nothing about incest, then...
Back in the 70s, I wanted to join a vocal quintet in my high school. In order to get in, I (along with a whole bunch of other kids) had to do a couple of minutes A cappella (my choice). All the other kids did something either upbeat and/or contemporary or Amazing Grace. When I started singing this there were lots of jaw drops and snickers, but I got Mrs. Simonson's attention and made the group. So I have a soft spot for this song.
Why's that? She's still alive, and probably will be for the rest of the series. Imagine the shit storm that will come if TellTale kills off Clementine.
KoalaCandy I know, what I was referring to is her tragic history, how she has lost so much, and became a hardened soul. I hope to God she doesn't die, I will go fucking nuts. She's my favorite character.
Melanie Burton Uh, is that don't "spell" it for you or don't "spoil" it for you? Why don't people use spellcheck? It doesn't catch the "your" for "you're" errors, but it can be a great help with other errors. Usually. :-o
It's based on a true story about a guy who was in love with a miner's daughter and one day when they were in the river she stubbed her toe and fell in the water she wasn't able to swim coz she swallowed water but the guy wasn't able to help her coz he didn't know how to swim so he watched her die and sink in the water her little sis almost committed suicide so he stood beside her and helped her and he kissed her everyday on her cheek coz that's what clementine used to do to calm her down he helped her and she helped him forget clementine she was 6 years old at that time
Charlotte Rhodes “Oh My Darling, Clementine” is a traditional American folk song, commonly credited to Percy Montrose (1884). The lyrics have changed over time, and what started as a sincere lament became a parody. Clementine is the daughter of a 49er, a miner in the 1849 California Gold Rush. But she drowned. As the song progresses, the changes become evident, with the tone turning tongue-in-cheek. The second verse, for example, mentions the size of Clementine’s feet: so big she wears boxes instead of shoes.”
Huckleberry Hound. Because of this HB ´s cartoon I recognised the song. But I could never imagine that funny, happy, clumsy, and blue dog was singing such a sad song. Perhaps even He did not know about it, or the cartoon would be sad, too. Thanks for the song/ lyrics, very nice and deep !
I came here cuz I heard someone say "Call me Darla" in the tune of this song, making a reference to this song, and it started going through my head. I think Ive heard Pete Seeger sing it? That's probably where I heard it from at first. I'm not sure. It makes me oddly happy when youtubers make references to or sing songs such as this. I mean youtubers that don't typically do such things. I know its been 3 months since your comment so theres a good chance you wont see mine, but nyeh.

If curious abt the video, cuz why not, th-cam.com/video/ih0e5I97fwc/w-d-xo.html 1:39:17
That's exactly what happened to me. When I was a kid and was starting with English in kindergarten I couldn't remember more than "oh my darling Clementine". Today, after 25 years I decided to google the full song text and learn who that girl really was. Amazing and unexpected!

i have a feeling Louis is gonna get together with clementine in twd and one is gonna die and this song is gonna pop up again and ima cry myself tf to sleep
Damn, this song has deep meaning. I always believe in deeper in every part of life, And this is one of those golden thing. I grew up with this tone, as the bell tome, school bell, and child music, but I always felt creeped out and sad yet calm with the tone, Now I know why, its mind blowing really.
I, remember listening to this song a long time ago. Till I came across the song yesterday.” It brings back memories, I remember a song with the same rhythm found a peanut, I was 4 or 5 years old.” When I heard this song, I can’t stop listening to this song I Love it!!!!
I sang this in a Choir in elementary school, and randomly while watching Star Trek: Voyager the EMH started singing this (S6E1) and it blew my mind that I could still recite most of the lyrics. Immediately started singing along. Music can be such a trip.
@@hydzdaily5647 the miner have a daughter named clementine? but she died.. she wears herring shoes or wooden shoes she stumble and fall on the water while driving the ducks away? clementine died coz of drowning cause he couldn't save her coz he doesn't know how to swim... so he feels dreadful and sorry for losing her and he ended up watching her drown without doing anything coz he doesn't know what to do and a coward too i guess... it's a sad story... edited i forgot.. he was being haunted by clementine memories coz he wish he could have done something to save her... in some versions he ended up killing himself too..
in kindergarten we used to sing this until i realized the lyrics and started crying and made the whole class cry. now i look back and its still pretty sad but a good song
Read the lyrics if you're confused about the song. The guy is a miner, his daughter drowns, but his pain is eased when he kisses her sister (his daughter), meaning he had another child whom to love. Idk where y'all are getting the idea that it's about siblings kissing and incest crap...
it hit different to me even more cause my music teacher in like 1st-2nd grade had taught our class, “oh my darlin, oh my darlin, oh my darlin clementine, you were lost and now i found you, oh my darlin clementine” and not the real lyrics. like damn i just wanted to re-listen to this song for some nostalgia not to cry lmao
+Jeramy Herlitzka it's the same in every version of the song, just because the little nursery rhyme videos make it seem that it's her father singing it, it's always supposed to be her lover.
Over my years I would go through spurts of parts of this song singing in my head from when I was a little kid. Dont remember where or rly when I first heard it, but after all these years typing the part I knew into google and found it! It makes me feel weird now knowing what its all about, but even as a kid I remember it making me sad. It still does.
First I found this song in the drama ''Psycho but it's okay'' and now I found it again in ''Banana Fish''. What a coincidence. Things that I love to watch.
Man I remember way back in the day, my elementary school taught me and my class to sing this, they also taught us how to do the pledge of allegiance in sign language, ahh good times...good times
Omg. My class learned this song in 4th grade because we were learning about the gold rush, and we loved it and wanted to sing it all the time. I forgot about the song for a while, until my class went on a retreat 4 years later, and we were singing songs. I saw this song in the song book and was like, "Oh wow! This song! Let's sing this one!" We sang the song for memories and realized how dark it was... Whoops... Just ruined my childhood... again...
The fact that this is about his daughter dying and it's a "kids song"
"ring around the rosie" is about the black plague
But why did he kiss her sister and forget about clementine. I've gotten second hand trauma

Max lobo sing this song but he only remember one line but like a fate, this song is actually gonna be his story. His 'son', ash lynx gone forever😭😭😭..
Wonderful melody! The poet exposes his nostalgic feelings at missing his beloved mistress.
If we're not talking about the lyrics, it's such a beautiful melody 🥺
I actually came here because of Max Lobo from the movie " Banana fish". Ash was pissed off when he sang "Oh my darling clementine" again and again because he doesn't know the Lyrics 😭😂😭
Meaning of the song:
A man describes how he lost his late girlfriend (Clementine) in a swimming accident. The man could not swim so he did nothing to save her. The man meets the girls sister and falls in love because the sister reminds him of Clementine. When he in in the company of the sister she reminds him of Clementine and the pain temporarily goes away. But the man has not forgotten his late lover and she will always be in his thoughts for the rest of his life.
Note: The final lyrics to the song are "Dreadful sorry Clementine."
This was my interpretation. I find it hard to believe that the writer would intend for Clementine to be simply forgotten after the man falls in love with her sister. It has happened many times in history where a man would bed the sister of his late lover because of the strong similarity.
P.S. This video sounds so much better when you speed up the song to 1.25.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
He actually does forget her, this song is supposed to be darkly humorous.
TheNewRiflemanBob Clementine is his daughter tho
Girume That's debatable.
the introduction of the song is :
"In a cavern in a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Lived a miner
forty-niner, And his daughter Clementine." so the 3rd person is used.
Then we hear the 1st person : "Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine."
So obviously, the main character of the song, who says "I", speaks actually about Clementine (his late girlfriend, and her dad who was a miner - just in order to present the context, who she is, where she comes from.
Nothing about incest, then...
Back in the 70s, I wanted to join a vocal quintet in my high school. In order to get in, I (along with a whole bunch of other kids) had to do a couple of minutes A cappella (my choice). All the other kids did something either upbeat and/or contemporary or Amazing Grace. When I started singing this there were lots of jaw drops and snickers, but I got Mrs. Simonson's attention and made the group. So I have a soft spot for this song.
Amazing Grace was about a Slaver that felt remorseful for what he did and so he wrote this song and get all religious before he died.
This is a beautiful, yet dark song.
One of many.
"Until I kissed her little sister and forgot about my clementine" ??????? 0_0........ Lmao the original thug life
Yea, it can be considered the thug life....IF THAT'S THE ONLY LINE YOU HEARD!!
+Walter Sarkar bro just chill just making a joke
Grim Reaper Yea, I know. I was playing the straight man in the joke. Who is ever serious on the internet?

I'm tearing up, thinking about Clementine from Telltale's Walking Dead.
:,(
Why's that? She's still alive, and probably will be for the rest of the series. Imagine the shit storm that will come if TellTale kills off Clementine.
KoalaCandy I know, what I was referring to is her tragic history, how she has lost so much, and became a hardened soul. I hope to God she doesn't die, I will go fucking nuts. She's my favorite character.
the comic book it

This song is from 1800s , I feel like it’s a real story, it’s so sad
It's a joke song lol. Everything about it contradicts itself. Like, it says she was small and light like a fairy but had size 9 feet
He was suffering from dementia

It happened
telltale pls no
I don't play walking dead but I watch it and watch my sister play it! does that count? Cause she tells me about clementine in the walking dead! thanks
That would be horrid.
Don't spoell it for me
Melanie Burton
Uh, is that don't "spell" it for you or don't "spoil" it for you?
Why don't people use spellcheck? It doesn't catch the "your" for "you're" errors, but it can be a great help with other errors. Usually. :-o
My 2 daughter loves this song so much as they always fell asleep easily while listening... ☺️☺️
came here after watching Psycho But It’s Ok. Damnnn this song somewhat has a connection to what had happened to KMY’s mom
Agree
It's based on a true story about a guy who was in love with a miner's daughter and one day when they were in the river she stubbed her toe and fell in the water she wasn't able to swim coz she swallowed water but the guy wasn't able to help her coz he didn't know how to swim so he watched her die and sink in the water her little sis almost committed suicide so he stood beside her and helped her and he kissed her everyday on her cheek coz that's what clementine used to do to calm her down he helped her and she helped him forget clementine she was 6 years old at that time
Sources??
Source : dude trust me
@@charlotterhodes7359 Some answers are just true
Charlotte Rhodes “Oh My Darling, Clementine” is a traditional American folk song, commonly credited to Percy Montrose (1884).
The lyrics have changed over time, and what started as a sincere lament became a parody. Clementine is the daughter of a 49er, a miner in the 1849 California Gold Rush. But she drowned. As the song progresses, the changes become evident, with the tone turning tongue-in-cheek. The second verse, for example, mentions the size of Clementine’s feet: so big she wears boxes instead of shoes.”
@@firstmatepetethedreadful3696 Thank you! Wth is up with these comments? Dramatic Irony is beyond people I guess.

Huckleberry Hound. Because of this HB ´s cartoon I recognised the song. But I could never imagine that funny, happy, clumsy, and blue dog was singing such a sad song. Perhaps even He did not know about it, or the cartoon would be sad, too. Thanks for the song/ lyrics, very nice and deep !
Here because of "It's okay to not be okay" 🤷♀
me too..... but it feels that i already knew this song
I sang this song (in my mother tongue) with grandma as a kid. I didn't come here from a stupid video •,___•

Not to you, Ash.

im crying because i missing my Aslan Jade
Everyone here be like: who's here after watching *insert show*
Meanwhile the song just popped into my head and I wanted to hear the full song
I came here cuz I heard someone say "Call me Darla" in the tune of this song, making a reference to this song, and it started going through my head. I think Ive heard Pete Seeger sing it? That's probably where I heard it from at first. I'm not sure.
It makes me oddly happy when youtubers make references to or sing songs such as this. I mean youtubers that don't typically do such things.
I know its been 3 months since your comment so theres a good chance you wont see mine, but nyeh. My mom says, "If you don't ask the answer is always no," and while it doesn't apply to this exactly, it's the same concept.
If curious abt the video, cuz why not,

I heard it in my head and wanted to make sure I was right on how sad this song really is
That's exactly what happened to me. When I was a kid and was starting with English in kindergarten I couldn't remember more than "oh my darling Clementine". Today, after 25 years I decided to google the full song text and learn who that girl really was. Amazing and unexpected!
Me too. Started singing it out of nowhere and decided to play it
Wonderful, with a happy ending!
When I was young my dad used to sing this for me to make me go to sleep and I swear it scarred me for life.

Doesn't this dude want to come and sing me to sleeps? Lol! I know it sounds crazy, but he has such a lovely warm voice! Would be so nice to have him sit there singing to me as I fall asleep. These songs bring back so many memories for me
i have a feeling Louis is gonna get together with clementine in twd and one is gonna die and this song is gonna pop up again and ima cry myself tf to sleep
I prefer Violet, I like her more than louis.
@Joesph Is The Best Joestar You a lie 😂😂
When you realize that this is about clementine drowning and the guy singing had to watch her drown
And when you realize he moved on to romance Clementines little sister and basically forgot his grief for Clementine. 😳
Dreadful 😅😅
And then he made out with her little sister, and completely forgot her
So bonnie sang this song, then.
@@springboard1994 no he had another child and could move on from grieving clementine. Moron.
Damn, this song has deep meaning.
I always believe in deeper in every part of life,
And this is one of those golden thing.
I grew up with this tone, as the bell tome, school bell, and child music, but I always felt creeped out and sad yet calm with the tone,
Now I know why, its mind blowing really.
this song brings me back so much memories we used to sing this in elementary school lol
“Always keep moving Clem” - TWD Lee

Good thing that Clementine doesn't have a sister...

I sang this in a Choir in elementary school, and randomly while watching Star Trek: Voyager the EMH started singing this (S6E1) and it blew my mind that I could still recite most of the lyrics. Immediately started singing along. Music can be such a trip.
Sevens voice is so gorgous omfgggg love her
Who's here after watching It's Okay Not To Be Okay ?

Why is everyone here?😂😂😂
Bcz her father
@@hydzdaily5647 the miner have a daughter named clementine? but she died.. she wears herring shoes or wooden shoes she stumble and fall on the water while driving the ducks away? clementine died coz of drowning cause he couldn't save her coz he doesn't know how to swim... so he feels dreadful and sorry for losing her and he ended up watching her drown without doing anything coz he doesn't know what to do and a coward too i guess...
it's a sad story...
edited
i forgot.. he was being haunted by clementine memories coz he wish he could have done something to save her...
in some versions he ended up killing himself too..
Wait, what!? Those are the lyrics!? D:
Your childhood too?
Ladybird Lovelace Yeah ;-;
This was just depressing.
you didn't realize that before? i almost cried in the class first time i heard the song, and none of my friend understood why.
DaemonEdgear Beautifully haunting song, the _only_ nursery rhyme that years later I played (and still play!) on my guitar. :)

IM CRYING NOW
in kindergarten we used to sing this until i realized the lyrics and started crying and made the whole class cry. now i look back and its still pretty sad but a good song
did not see that twist coming
his voice is so warm ❤ ❤
This is such a sad song ! Louis plays it with such joyfulness, that I missed the tragedy behind it. I hope it's not a foreshadowing of Clem death...
I was taught this song at university in Chile many years ago, while I was studying to become a teacher of English.
Read the lyrics if you're confused about the song.
The guy is a miner, his daughter drowns, but his pain is eased when he kisses her sister (his daughter), meaning he had another child whom to love.
Idk where y'all are getting the idea that it's about siblings kissing and incest crap...
+thief1434 - The guy singing the song is telling the story. So, it's him kissing Clementine and her sister, not their father.
I read this when he said that
+thief1434 No, the singer is supposed to be Clementine's lover, not her father
+athull08 it clearly says in the beginning that Clementine is the singer's daughter, not lover
Tigerwings598
no, the beginning of the song talks ABOUT Clementine's father. It's not sung BY her father.
The “You are lost and gone forever” hit different
it hit different to me even more cause my music teacher in like 1st-2nd grade had taught our class, “oh my darlin, oh my darlin, oh my darlin clementine, you were lost and now i found you, oh my darlin clementine” and not the real lyrics. like damn i just wanted to re-listen to this song for some nostalgia not to cry lmao
Some of you thinking it was his daughter... It wasn't his daughter! It was his fiance! and he forgot her when he moved on to her sister
In this version of the song, it's his daughter, and he moves on when her younger sister is born.
+Jeramy Herlitzka it's the same in every version of the song, just because the little nursery rhyme videos make it seem that it's her father singing it, it's always supposed to be her lover.
The fact that we learned and study this in the class last year 💔
I really love this story
The person who sung this has a beautiful voice 💕
I wish this channel still uploading songs...
Do you know the singer's name?!
Five years ago we used to sing this song in our school..cant forget that one of my friend just started crying.
This is so touching
How? He just gets over his daughters death like nothing and even forgets about her
He kissed her little sister and forgot Clementine.(in song) WTF!!
Over my years I would go through spurts of parts of this song singing in my head from when I was a little kid. Dont remember where or rly when I first heard it, but after all these years typing the part I knew into google and found it! It makes me feel weird now knowing what its all about, but even as a kid I remember it making me sad. It still does.
Notice the lyrics on the description.
" But, alas, I was no swimmer, *SO U* lost my Clementine. "
First I found this song in the drama ''Psycho but it's okay'' and now I found it again in ''Banana Fish''.
What a coincidence. Things that I love to watch.
Man I remember way back in the day, my elementary school taught me and my class to sing this, they also taught us how to do the pledge of allegiance in sign language, ahh good times...good times
Очень круто! Спасибо автору и разработчикам! Приятно слушать, смотреть и учить , ура !💥🌹🌟🌟🌟🌟
Omg. My class learned this song in 4th grade because we were learning about the gold rush, and we loved it and wanted to sing it all the time. I forgot about the song for a while, until my class went on a retreat 4 years later, and we were singing songs. I saw this song in the song book and was like, "Oh wow! This song! Let's sing this one!" We sang the song for memories and realized how dark it was... Whoops... Just ruined my childhood... again...
