Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Lived a miner, forty-niner,
And his daughter Clementine.

Chorus

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,
Herring boxes without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

(Chorus)

Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning, just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

(Chorus)

Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine.
But alas! I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

(Chorus)
