Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine

Soft she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Were the shoes for Clementine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Hopefulful sorry Clementine

She drove ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine

Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
Alas for me he was no swimmer
So he lost my Clementine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Hopeful sorry Clementine
