A Little About This Song…

The song begins with a serious lament but soon reveals itself to be a parody in nearly every version heard today. My Darlin’ Clementine is easily one of America’s most identifiable songs from the Gold Rush of 1849. Though the lyrics were considered too mature for kids, the melody worked its way into a children’s classic, “Found A Peanut”.
