i love this song i want to make a rock cover with my band(not screamo) the lyrics are so sweet who ever says this song has no talent can drown like clementine.
but its kinda sad watching your daughter drown with you not being able to not do it for not knowing how to swim,i myself don't know....but in the Happy side i'm naming my daughter Clementine, and know how to swim before having her.
O the childhood memories come rollin along .... I see Huckleberry Hound riding his horse singing this song .... :-D Thank you LEWDITE for posting these songs & sharing your talents with the world!!
I'm 14, I am part of the new generation that likes rap and rock, and I actually like this. It makes me feel like I'm in a time when there weren't all of these problems of today. Thank you for playing and posting this lewdite. :)
@lewdite no problem lewdite!!! I got me a guitar yesterday and once I get done learning some notes I'm going to learn a lot of these songs. There simple and are good songs. Like I have said, thank you!!!
P.S.: Your welcome!!! and keep on uploading these good videos!!!
I found myself humming this song not knowing what I was humming.Searched it by one phrase i finally remembered. You sing it in the same rythem I was humming it.I love how you sing it.
Its great to know that these songs arent lost to time and sung well. Listening to you sing these, takes me back to an easier time and you do all your songs so incredibly well. Thank you.
well i have got to say thank you for putting these songs on here i love to hear this sort of music it reminds me of my gran singing them to me when i was very young. thanks...
Hi Lew. Thanks for the music. In a time of consumerism and waste, its nice to hear someone paying respect to the simple things in life. These are the most meaningful aspects I believe.
I love this song since my childhood, and your version is the best I ever heard. Great voice and nice playing. Simply beautiful. Thank you for this! - Zoli from Hungary
Hi Lew Maybe you already know this but... regarding the song Daisy Bell in a music book I have there is this verse I don't ever hear anyone else sing: Chester, Chester here is my answer do I'm not crazy all for the love of you it must be a stylish marriage you must afford a carriage and I'll be damned if I'll be crammed on a bycicle built for two Love your music Bob
@RottenPineapples There was a band "Plava Trava Zaborava" performing bluegrass music (in English) in former Yugoslavia, during the communism. You could find it on youtube. We know enough about USA country music.
You're reminding me of just how much I miss my campfire days. When Grandpa Pete (Seeger) visited our Summer camp when I was a youngster,"Clementine" was one that we could ALL join in on. I find it ironic how,after all these years,the song still has such a powerful and positive affect on my spirit. Thank you for providing both the memory and good vibes!
Great ..When ever i feel sad , i listen to your music especially this particular song ... Please also check the bollywood song 'Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan' i think it is the same tune ..
i can sort of play it in my piano but ur 20 thousand times better and the singing too. *sigh* i really used to love this song when i was younger...still do
Hi Lou, trying to learn this song on my uke as we speak for a cultural exchange trip to Bangladesh with Rotary. The chords I found were G D7 C, G D7 G. It doesn't appear that you are playing a G. What chords are you using? Thanks, Jim in Ojai
You sir are a great singger and ukuele player! I just got this song because of you!
