Verse

In a cavern, in a canyon,

Excavating for a mine

Dwelt a miner forty niner,

And his daughter Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy,

And her shoes were number nine,

Herring boxes, without topses,

Sandals were for Clementine.

Chorus

]

Clementine, Clementine,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

Verse

Drove she ducklings to the water

Ev'ry morning just at nine,

Hit her foot there 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.

Chorus

]

Clementine, Clementine,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

Verse

then the miner, 49er

soon began to peak and pine

thought he aughta join his daughter

now he's left with clementine

in my dreams she still does haunt me

broken garments soaked in brine

though in life I used to hug her

in death i draw the line

Chorus

]

Clementine, Clementine,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

Verse

How I missed her! How I missed her,

How I missed my Clementine,

so I kissed her little sister,

and I forgot my Clementine.

Chorus

]

Clementine, Clementine,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

clementine, clementine

you are lost and gone, Clementine

clementine...

[slide around in !]

Chorus

]

Clementine, Clementine,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

clementine, clementine

you are lost and gone, Clementine
