Out on the plains of Chickamongo
Rode a lass who nigh could lasso straight
She knew her wilds but would not follow
A valentine arriving on Feb 8th
Rose played the bucks and
Rose skipped at luck and
Rose flowered out on the range
Alone in knowledge of life's great college
As summoned up on the stage
It was hi-hi-hi-de-yay
So giddy-up and truck, confound you's
It's giddy-up enough, we want to stray
Take the up and up 'til life astounds you
And giddy-up and up right off the page
For your amusement
This rose won't deign to fade, oh, oh, oh
Out on the hills of Rouge Diablo
Squints a gal for pals she shall not save
Her six shooters were a blazin'
As shined by tresses dyed in lemonade
Mercy me, oh (mercy me)
Oh, mercy mine-oh
Clementina (Clementina)
My clementine-a, oh
Out on the mounds of Ol' Piccocyto
That lass who lasso's straight (lasso's straight)
Once craved the wilds but since only follows
A valentine so brave
Where it's hi-hi-hi-de-yay
So giddy-up and truck, confound you's
It's giddy-up enough, we want to stray
Take the up and up 'til life astounds you
And giddy-up and up right off the page
This rose won't fade
This rose won't fade
