On the sign:
MY DARLING CLEMENTINE

In a cabin, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, Forty-niner,
And his daughter Clementine.

Drove her ducklings to the river
Every morning just at nine,
Stubbed her toe against a sliver,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles soft and fine,
But alas she was no swimmer,
And I lost my Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

-Percy Montrose

Comments:
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.

The current sign features the well-known folk song "My Dear Clementine", a song written in 1884 by Percy Montrose who lived in the 19th century. One of the most famous country songs in the United States.
