Two sides are short. Two sides are long. Guess this shape in my rhyming song.

In a cavern in a canyon, excavating for a mine, Dwelt a miner forty-niner and his daughter Clementine.

Chorus: Oh my darlin’, Oh my darlin’, Oh my darlin’, Clementine. You are lost and gone forever. Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was and like a fairy and her shoes were number nine. Herring boxes without top-ses sandals were for Clementine.

Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine. Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine.

Chorus

Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine, But alas! I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine.

I’ve been workin’ on the railroad all the live long day. I’ve been workin’ on the railroad just to pass the time away. Don’t you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn. Don’t you hear the captain shouting? “Dinah, blow your horn!”

My home’s in Montana. I wear a bandanna. My spurs are all silver. My pony is gray. Whatever the weather, we travel together. With foot in the stirrup, I’ll gallop away.

We’re up with the sun. There’s work to be done. In the wide open spaces, that’s where we would be. Out here in the west is the life we love best. Montana is home for my pony and me.

When, far from the ranches, I chop the pine branches To heap on the kiln fire as daylight grows pale. When I have partaken of beans and of bacon, I whistle a cheery old song of the trail.

8. Buffalo Gal

As I was walking down the street, Down the street, down the street, A pretty little gal I chanced to meet. Oh, she was fair to see.

11. A-Hunting We Will Go

Oh, the noble duke of York He had ten thousand men. He marched them up to the top of the hill And marched them down again.

And when you’re up, you’re up, And when you’re down, you’re down, And when you’re only half-way up, You’re neither up nor down.

Oh, a-hunting we will go. A-hunting we will go. We’ll catch a little fox and put him in a box, And then we’ll let him go.

12. Erie Canal Song

I’ve got a mule. Her name is Sal. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. She’s a good old worker and a good old pal. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.

We’ve hauled some barges in our day, Filled with lumber, coal, and hay, And we know every inch of the way From Albany to Buffalo.

Chorus: Low bridge, everybody down. Low bridge, for we’re comin’ to a town. And you’ll always know your neighbor, You’ll always know your pal If you’ve ever navigated on the Erie Canal.

Get up there, Sal. We passed that lock. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. And we’ll make Rome ‘fore six o’clock. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.

Just one more trip and back we’ll go, Through the rain and sleet and snow, ‘Cause we know every inch of the way From Albany to Buffalo.

Chorus 2X

13. The Marines’ Hymn

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, We will fight our country’s battles in the air, on land, and sea. First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean. We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines.

14. When Johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah, We’ll give him a hearty welcome then, hurrah, hurrah. The men will cheer. The boys will shout. The ladies they will all turn out. And we’ll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.

15. Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle went to town a-riding on a pony. Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.

Chorus: Yankee Doodle, keep it up. Yankee Doodle dandy. Mind the music and the step, and with the girls be handy.

Father and I went down to camp along with Captain Gooding. There we saw the men and boys as thick as hasty pudding.

Chorus

There was Captain Washington upon a slapping stallion Giving orders to his men. I guess there was a million!

Chorus
