The miner was a forty-niner, which means he was a part of the 1849 Gold Rush to California. Over 300,000 people moved to California after the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill was widely publicized. Inevitably, most of these people were not proper miners, and many were not even well equipped to make the journey west to start an expensive venture. In the song the miner has a daughter named Clementine. He can’t afford to buy her shoes, so she is wearing small wooden boxes on her feet, referred to as “herring boxes without topses. “ The boxes are also referred to as her sandals. Because she is wearing rough wooden boxes on her feet, she gets a splinter which causes her to stumble and fall into the water as she was driving the ducklings into the water. She drowned because her father, the miner, could not swim and therefore could not save her. “Dreadful sorry, Clementine,” he sings.

[@kukaliemikalie8157]

Aaand he kissed her little sister and forgot her 😂 I did *not* know these lyrics.

[@bigmeandaddy]

@@kukaliemikalie8157 I think that part is supposed to explain why he didn't at least TRY to save her. Most fathers would jump in, knowing they would drown, just to attempt a rescue. Just at a chance to save their daughter. Except this father has a SECOND daughter for which he is responsible and therefore couldn't die trying to save one daughter and possibly leaving the second daughter and orphan. Afterwards, he returns home and kisses the little sister, taking comfort in knowing that he made the best decision for at least one of his children, and trying to make his peace with the loss of his other daughter. Life was much, much harder in the 1800's than it is today. Losing children was not uncommon. You needed to accept the tragedy of it, move on with life, and be grateful for what you have.

[@Deus-omnia-amat]

POV: You didn’t know this song is in the perspective of her lover

[@crislauriero4491]

I don't understand it, because it is supposed to be from the perspective of Clementine's lover, this means that the lover could not save her, not the father, that is, the "dreadful sorry" part refers to the lover and not the father

[@TheNewRiflemanBob]

Meaning of the song: A man describes how he lost his late girlfriend (Clementine) in a swimming accident. The man could not swim so he did nothing to save her. The man meets the girls sister and falls in love because the sister reminds him of Clementine. When he in in the company of the sister she reminds him of Clementine and the pain temporarily goes away. But the man has not forgotten his late lover and she will always be in his thoughts for the rest of his life. Note: The final lyrics to the song are "Dreadful sorry Clementine." This was my interpretation. I find it hard to believe that the writer would intend for Clementine to be simply forgotten after the man falls in love with her sister. It has happened many times in history where a man would bed the sister of his late lover because of the strong similarity. P.S. This video sounds so much better when you speed up the song to 1.25.

Girume That's debatable.

[@toucantoucan]

the introduction of the song is : "In a cavern in a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Lived a miner forty-niner, And his daughter Clementine." so the 3rd person is used. Then we hear the 1st person : "Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine." So obviously, the main character of the song, who says "I", speaks actually about Clementine (his late girlfriend, and her dad who was a miner - just in order to present the context, who she is, where she comes from. Nothing about incest, then...

[@firstmatepetethedreadful3696]

Charlotte Rhodes “Oh My Darling, Clementine” is a traditional American folk song, commonly credited to Percy Montrose (1884). The lyrics have changed over time, and what started as a sincere lament became a parody. Clementine is the daughter of a 49er, a miner in the 1849 California Gold Rush. But she drowned. As the song progresses, the changes become evident, with the tone turning tongue-in-cheek. The second verse, for example, mentions the size of Clementine’s feet: so big she wears boxes instead of shoes.”

Y'know, I see a lot of people misinterpreting this song in the comments, the meaning should be obvious, is about a father, the miner, who lost his daughter Clementine because he couldn't swim to save her and missed her deeply, but he had other daughter and was able to move on with his life.

[@thatdude3977]

Sweet home Alabama

[@guizot2010]

Misinterpreting? The lyrics are quite clear that the narrator is not the father. It's someone who was in love with a miner's daughter, but couldn't save her when she drowned.

[@nightorchid5031]

I came here cuz I heard someone say "Call me Darla" in the tune of this song, making a reference to this song, and it started going through my head. I think Ive heard Pete Seeger sing it? That's probably where I heard it from at first. I'm not sure. It makes me oddly happy when youtubers make references to or sing songs such as this. I mean youtubers that don't typically do such things. I know its been 3 months since your comment so theres a good chance you wont see mine, but nyeh. My mom says, "If you don't ask the answer is always no," and while it doesn't apply to this exactly, it's the same concept.

En una caverna, en un cañón, Excavando para una mina, Vivía un minero del cuarenta y nueve* Y su hija Clementina. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina. Ligera era y como una hada Y calzaba un cuarenta y tres Latas de arenques sin tapas Hacían sandalias para Clementina. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina. Llevaba los patitos al agua Cada mañana a las nueve Tropezó contra una palo Y cayó en la salmuera espumosa. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina. Sus labios de rubí por encima del agua Soplaban burbujas lindas y delicadas, Pero, ¡ay! no sabía nadar Luego perdí mi Clementina. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina. En el cementerio cerca del cañón Donde el mirto se entrelaza, Ahí crecen rosas y ramilletes Fertilizados por Clementina. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina. Luego el minero del cuarenta y nueve Pronto empezó a tener altibajos Pensó que debería juntarse con su hija, Ahora está con Clementina. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina. En mis sueños todavía me ronda Vestida de prendas empapadas de salmuera Aunque la solía abrazar viva, Ahora está muerta, ya se acabó. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina. Cuánto la eché de menos, cuánto la eché de menos, Cuánto eché de menos a mi Clementina Hasta que besé a su hermanita Y olvidé mi Clementina. ¡Ho! mi querida, ¡Ho! mi querida ¡Ho! mi querida Clementina Te perdimos y te fuiste para siempre Cuánto lo siento, Clementina.

Over my years I would go through spurts of parts of this song singing in my head from when I was a little kid.

It makes me feel weird now knowing what its all about, but even as a kid I remember it making me sad. It still does.

[@persiepony]

Re: It's Okay Not To Be Okay The other version of this song fully encapsulates MY's first nightmare after she went back to her hometown. The father actually attempted to be with Clementine again. She still haunts him in his sleep and he still sees her rising up from the water and he kisses her when she does. This goes back to Episode 2 with her nightmare. Instead of blood on the floor, it's water and there were footsteps going up from the basement like someone went out from the water. The way her mom's demon paralysis monster looks like she's floating on water on top of MY is a sign too. And also the fact that in her nightmare, young MY was looking out into the lake with her mother slowly rising above the water asking for help. My theory is, the father attempted to kill MY's mother but he was always "a step too late". He probably pushed her into the water or something and he may have wanted to drown her. She probably survived though. I'm pretty sure it's the lady in the flower robes. She always has her hair tied up and is always reading a book. MY's mother always had a fixation with her hair and books as well.

[@duxsiol_2546]

Athena Banana But why is it that KMY doesn't recognize her? And she was always reading the mother's books, maybe she just wanted to imitate?

[@persiepony]

@@duxsiol_2546 when you suffer extreme trauma from what I know, you tend to repress your memories of the past. As we can see, MY never has the courage to look at any of her mother's portraits. I don't think she remembers her face that well. In the episode where the auntie was claiming she was MY's mom, MY believed her for a while. She said, "Is it really you, mom? Are you really back?" It hints that even MY herself doesn't believe her mom is dead. Joori hinted at this in the first episode too saying "but your mom is still alive" or something along those lines. Even the director of the hospital says after her last book, she was missing. Only five years after was she announced or considered dead. Most likely MY's mom is really still alive.

[@duxsiol_2546]
