That Song is Super Weird Guys, Look it Up
You get lost during a trail ride at the Distant Lands Dude Ranch, and spend a day riding through a complicated maze of canyons. Late in the afternoon, you find a watering hole near the entrance to a mysterious cavern, and stop to get a drink.
All of a sudden, a crazed looking man with a long grey beard (and a glittering eye) jumps out of the mouth of the cave.
"Are you alone?" he says, looking around anxiously.
"Yeah," you say, "why?"
"You cain't tell nobody, but while I was in this here cavern, in this here canyon, excavatin' for a mine, I found the dagburndest thing. A vein of some kinda glowin' gemstones. I don't want nobody else to find my mine. If you promise not to tell nobody, I'll promise you my daughter's hand in marriage."
"Clementine!" shouts the old miner, "Git out here!"
Even before you get a look at her (with her long grey beard and her glittering eye), you're promising the man that there's no need for that, and you promise not to tell anybody about his find. He makes you do one of those swears where you spit on your hand before shaking, and takes your horse for collateral, but it's better than the alternative.
