in a cavern
in a canyon,
excavating for a mine,
Lived a miner forty-niner,
and his daughter
Clementine
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
Clementine
you are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry
Clementine
light she was and
like a fairy
and her shoes were number
nine,
herring boxes
without topses
sandles were for
clementine
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
Clementine
you are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry
Clementine.
drove she ducklings
to the water,
every morning just at
nine,
stubbed her toe against a splinter
fell into the foaming
brine.
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
Clementine
you are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry
Clementine.
ruby lips
above the water,
blowing bubbles soft and
fine,
but, alas, i was no swimmer
so i lost my
clementine.
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
Clementine
you are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry
Clementine
how i missed her,
how i missed her,
how i missed my
clementine,
until i kissed her little sister,
and forgot my
clementine.
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
oh my darlin',
Clementine
you are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry
Clementine.
