lyrics

One cloudy day deep in Appalachia
Southwest Virginia rain drivin down
Deep in the heart of them ancient mountains
A young maiden fair was livin in a dyin town

When in from the trail I came a stranger
Gentlehearted soul just lost the way
That maiden fair I’ll always remember
She took me in till the light of day
She took me in till the light of day

Sweet darlin laurel my darlin fine
She is the one I call my clementine
Through all these years Lord I cant forget you
And I keep your kindness always on my mind
I hope this letter may still yet reach you
My darlin Laurel Clementine

When the mornin light came through the treetops
Said Laurel won’t you come away with me
You can take my hand and we’ll travel westward
Lord I am bound for Tenneessee x2
Lord I'm bound, bound for East Tennessee

She looked at me and said dear rambler
Her eyes were clear as the light of day
She said you know that I cant forget you
But this here is my home and I’m bound to stay x2
But this here is my home, home and I’m bound to stay

Sweet darlin laurel my darlin fine
She is the one I call my clementine
Through all these years I cant forget you
I keep your kindness always on my mind
I hope this letter may still yet reach you
My darlin Laurel Clementine
