Thread Name: Origins/Lyrics: Oh, My Darling Clementine
Subject: RE: Clemantine's shoe size?
In the original "Clementine" her shoe size was not mentioned.

"Down by the River" (1863) (from HERE)

3.
Her foot, Oh! Golly! Twas a beauty,
Her shoes were made of Dig-by pine,
Two herring boxes without the tops on
Just made the sandals of Clementine.
