《我親愛的克萊門汀》(英語:Oh My Darling, Clementine)美國民歌,揚抑格,通常以 F 大調演奏。這首歌一般認為是珀西·蒙特羅斯(Percy Montrose)於1884年創作的,也有觀點認為該曲是基於亨利·S·湯普森的Down by the River Liv'd a Maiden所作。歌詞講述了美國西部加利福尼亞淘金熱時期,一位49歲的淘金工人的女兒掉入河水,一位年輕男子不懂游泳沒法救起,感到自責,最後從克萊門汀的妹妺處得到寛慰。(大多數人都誤以為是以父親角度去描繪的一首歌,但事實是以克萊門汀的丈夫或男朋友角度去描繪的。)
在中文圈,這首歌被改編為中國新年歌曲《新年好》。該歌的旋律也被用於猶太新年歌曲「Dip The Apple In The Honey」。

You are lost and gone forever(你已經不在了,永遠離去了)
Dreadful sorry Clementine](對不起,可憐的克萊門汀)
Light she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes, Without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
[合唱]
Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot, Against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
[合唱]
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
[合唱]
How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
Till I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine
