| In a cavern, in a canyon,
|
| Excavating for a mine
|
| Dwelt a miner forty niner,
|
| And his daughter Clementine
|
| Oh my darling, oh my darling,
|
| Oh my darling, Clementine!
|
| Thou art lost and gone forever
|
| Dreadful sorry, Clementine
|
| Light she was and like a fairy,
|
| And her shoes were number nine,
|
| Wearing boxes, without topses,
|
| Sandals were for Clementine.
|
| Oh my darling, oh my darling,
|
| Oh my darling, Clementine!
|
| Thou art lost and gone forever
|
| Dreadful sorry, Clementine
|
| Drove the ducklings to the water
|
| Ev’ry 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!
|
| Thou art 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 darling, oh my darling,
|
| Oh my darling, Clementine!
|
| Thou art lost and gone forever
|
| Dreadful sorry, Clementine |
