The song "My Darling Clementine" is a very sad tale, if you've ever paid attention to the lyrics. It details the story of a Miner 49er, and his daughter. The daughter takes the ducks out to the river, and winds up drowning in the river. The father decides he can't live without her, so he decides to kill himself. The singer of the song was Clementine's lover, who decides that now that she's dead, he can move on to her more attractive little sister. The moral of the song teaches us that learning how to swim and learning CPR can save lives.
