Slow down, Clementine
Cigarettes and cherry wine
Come to me, my Clementine
Stand beside the march of time
Time will steal your mind
And tear you up inside
Virgin pure and innocent
My heart will repent
Time is mine, my Clementine
Fall down to get back up
Come downtown, the kids are cannibals
Come to me, my Clementine
Stay close for all my life
Time will steal your mind
And tear you up inside
Virgin pure and innocent
My heart will repent
Time is mine, my Clementine
Clementine put on your dress
We'll fight this off, this awful mess
Run down those stairs and load up my old gun
Aim high, between the eyes
You know where their interest lies
They'll end your life and spit right on your grave
Time will steal your mind
And tear you up inside
Virgin pure and innocent
My heart will repent
Time is mine, my Clementine
