Clementine |
| 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 were lost and gone forever |
| Dreadful sorry, Clementine! |
| Light she was and like a fairy |
| And her shoes were number nine |
| Herring boxes without topses |
| Sandals were for clementine |
| Drove she ducklings to the water |
| Every morning, just at nine |
| Hit her foot against a splinter |
| Fell into the foaming brine |
| Ruby lips above the water |
| Blowing bubbles, soft and fine |
| But alas, I was no swimmer |
| So I lost my Clementine |
| When the miner, forty-niner |
| Soon began to peak and pine |
| Thought he oughta join his daughter |
| Now he’s with his Clementine |
| In the corner, of the churchyard |
| Where the myrtle bows and twines |
| Grow the roses in their poses |
| Fertilized by Clementine |
| In my dreams she still doth haunt me |
| Robed in garments soaked in brine |
| Though in life I used to hug her |
| Now she’s dead, I’ll draw the line |
| How I miss her, how I miss her |
| How I miss my Clementine! |
| So I kiss her little sister… |
| And forgot my Clementine |
