- Clementine
1. In a cavern in a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Lived a miner forty-niner, And his
daughter Clementine. (CHORUS) Oh, my darlin’, Oh my darlin’, Oh my darlin’
Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.
2. Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine: Herring boxes without
topses, Sandals were for Clementine. Repeat Chorus: Oh, my darlin’, Oh my darlin’, Oh
my darlin’ Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.
3. Drove she ducklings to the water, Every morning at nine. Stubbed her toe against a
splinter; Fell into the foaming brine. Repeat Chorus: Oh, my darlin’, Oh my darlin’, Oh

- Home on the Range
Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard, a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.
- I've Been Working on the Railroad
I’ve been working on the railroad.
All the live long day.
I’ve been working on the rail
road, just to pass the time away.

Rise up so early in
the morn!
Can’t you hear the captain shouting? Dinah, blow your horn!
- On Top of Old Smokey
1. On top of Old Smokey, all covered with snow, I lost my true lover, come acourtin’
too slow.

a thief.

will send you to your grave.

railroad, or stars in the skies.

but remember the Red River Valley, and the cowboy who loved you so true.

now, alas, all my fond hopes must vanish. For they say you are going away. Repeat
Chorus: Come and sit by my side if you love me, do not hasten to bid me a-dieu, but
remember the Red River Valley, and the cowboy who loved you so true.
