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
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
Sandals were for Clementine
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry,Clementine
Drove her 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
But alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Oh,my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry,Clementine
Then the miner, forty-niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he oughta join his daughter
Now he s with his Clementine
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry,Clementine
In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garlands soaked in brine
Though in life I used to hug her
Now she s dead, I draw the line
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine |
