replies: text: The first 2 results on google for "oh my darling clementine" after the wiki page both list a last verse with mention of the little sister. I'm not an editor, so someone else can bother finding reputable sources, but the verse does apparently exist. 99.236.75.53 (talk) 16:59, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Clementine (song) goes to a stub page about what is likely a cover of this song.  I think it should probably redirect here (as that is where I looked for this song in the first place) with a mention of the cover somewhere in this article.

Track #25 is based on the exact same melody. Can anyone offer an explanation for this? Is there any evidence this song is based on an old African folk song? 75.72.153.44 (talk) 10:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I had an impression that this song was a hit among the college students of the 1880's and 1890's, who had the same sense of humor as students nowadays.  Is this correct or not? Pittsburgh Poet (talk) 19:58, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  College Song? 

message: Elliott Smith never "recored" a cover of this song. For his '95 Album "Elliott Smith" he did record a song titled "Clementine," and that song even included lyrical and even melodic references to the song "Oh My Darling, Clementine," but I have never come across a recording of him actually playing the American Folk-Ballad this page is devoted to. No demos, no albums or singles, not even a drunken live cover-performance recorded on video and thrown on youtube...
However, it might be fair to include a "References" section in this article, or merge the Contemporary Use section into a new comprehensive section on the song's influences in contemporary/pop culture. There may not be much scholarship on the subject, but frankly, there isn't an overwhelming amount of scholarship cited in this article as it stands now. And intuitively I think there must be countless references and tributes and reproductions in pop culture owing to the song. If there's space for all these alternative verses, maybe there should be some space for where those verses came from, and that could be included in such a section as well...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.121.176 (talk) 22:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Many of the lyrics on this page are duplicated and out of order.  It looks like someone tried to collect all the variant verses in existence and publish them all in a long, unsorted list.
This song had a few verses in the beginning (probably the late 1800's).  As often happens with popular folk songs, people began making up their own verses.  The made-up verses are interesting and should be documented, but they should not be given the same status as the original verses.
The article would be more interesting (to me, at least) if it started with the original verses and the very sad story behind the song, then covered the variants and the stories behind them.
I came here to learn the history of this song.  I was sorely disappointed.

message: "Oh" is not grammatical in either the title or the choruses.  It should be "O".
Did the songwriters really make such a howler, or have the dopey masses mangled this over the years?
I am unsure whether to correct it at this point.  If the typo is now standard, I suppose it should stay.  209.172.25.170 (talk) 02:18, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

message: "traditional-songs.com" appears to have disappeared. The link now forwards to a french site, [partitions-domaine-public.fr], which if you try to proceed shunts you off to a thing called [allin1-digitalcontent.net allin1-digitalcontent.net], which is an ad for something called Tudum that wants your credit card before telling you it can't find anything about Clementine. Then if you go back and start over, allin1 has been replaced by Audible, which really doesn't seem to comprehend the notion of a musical score. --Haruo (talk) 20:43, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
