Topses: 这里应该是“tops”，但是为了押韵，就改成了“topses”。

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Drove she ducklings to the water

Every morning just at nine

Hit her foot against a splinter

Fell into the foaming brine.

Foaming brine：带着泡沫的盐水

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Ruby lips above the water

Blowing bubbles soft and fine

But, alas, I was no swimmer,

So I lost my Clementine.

I was no swimmer：那时我不会游泳，（所以只好眼睁睁的看着Clementine溺水，有点小无语）

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

How I missed her, how I missed her

How I missed my Clementine

Till I kissed her little sister

And forgot my Clementine.

很快，这个爸爸亲吻了小女儿，Clementine就被忘记了。抓狂了，不是刚还说非常非常想念她的吗？

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

好吧，整首歌看下来不知道到底想表达什么意思，也许有一些我不能理解的深层次的黑色幽默吧。另外能把这首歌改编成"新年好"也是很有才了。
