Lyrics

The trees are in silhouette once more
Their branches like a sable strand
Stitched up in through the sky, my love
To hold it to this land

CHORUS:
Sing sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing sparrow, sing
One more before I’m gone, long gone
One more before I’m gone

And when they find you here someday
Face down on that floor
An ear to a ghost man’s rail you’ll wait
For that train to take one more

CHORUS

If you should change your mind tonight
And then turn around as you please
We’ll meet again in some sweet spring
Beneath the old black trees

CHORUS

Clementine, Clementine, Clementine, oh Clementine
Clementine, Clementine, Clementine, oh Clementine
And get thee behind me, Satan!
