lyrics

Travis I guess was a pit boss, boys
At the tribal casino up the road
Caught his own son in a blackjack scam
Shot himself in his bathrobe

Boys! Boys, boys, boys
Gotta gimme more than that
(Boys, boys, boys)
Meet me out back, out back

Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead

Clay was like “Hey! will I ever get out
Of this bison and Wal-Mart town?”
He lit himself on fire in the post office
Officer, I dream of his mouth

Boys! Boys, boys, boys
Gotta gimme more than that
(Boys, boys, boys)
Meet me out back, out back

Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead

Please don’t cry for me boys, cry in your soft white beds
Please don’t cry for me boys, tell a joke to a stranger instead
Please don’t cry for me boys, the river always wanted to be red
Please don't cry for me boys, the river always wanted to be red

Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Rest in the mossy green bed
Sleep sleep sleep in the river boys
Lay in the water till we’re dead
Lay in the water till we’re dead

about

Clementine Was Right Denver, Colorado

clementinewasright.com

Clementine Was Right is the songwriting project of Denver- based poets Mike Young and Gion Davis.

Chronicling years of uprooting, the music gallops and sways through lyric-driven, hook-smeared bootgaze and western emo, harmonizing and storytelling.
