Clementine |
| In a cavern down by a canyon |
| Excavatin' for a mine |
| There lived a miner from North Carolina |
| And his daughter, chubby Clementine |
| Now every mornin', just about dawnin' |
| A’when the sun begins to shine |
| You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up |
| And walk 'em down to her Daddy’s mine |
| A’took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water |
| Though she weighed two-ninety nine |
| The old bridge trembled and disassembled |
| (Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine |
| Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under |
| (ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line |
| Hey, I’m no swimm’a but were she slimm’a |
| I might’a saved that Clementine |
| (Ho) broke the record, way under water |
| I thought that she was doin' fine |
| I wasn’t nervous ya until the service |
| That they held for Clementine |
| Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler |
| With a harpoon, your trusty line |
| If she shows now, yo, there she blows now |
| It just may be chunky Clementine |
| (One more time) |
| Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin' |
| Oh my darlin', oh my darlin' sweet Clementine |
| You may be gone |
| But! |
| You’re not forgotten |
| Fare thee well |
| So long, Clementine |
| (Bubble sound) Bye! |
