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

This definition may be questionable: He's a member of the 40-watt club.
Life begins at forty (saying) - жизнь начинается в 40 лет;
в 40 лет всё только начинается On the wrong/right side of 40 - больше/меньше сорока Be older/younger than 40: I don't know her exact age but I should say she's on the wrong side of forty.
