Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon,

Excavating for a mine,

Dwelt a miner forty-niner,

And his daughter Clementine.



Chorus:

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling Clementine,

You are lost and gone forever,

Dreadful sorry Clementine.



Drove a duckling to the water,

Every morning just at nine;

Hit her foot against a splinter,

Fell into the foaming brine.



Chorus:

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling Clementine,

You are lost and gone forever,

Dreadful sorry Clementine.



--- Instrumental ---



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 missed her, how I missed her

How I missed my Clementine.

So I kissed her little sister,

And forgot my Clementine.



Chorus:

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling Clementine,

You are lost and gone forever,

Dreadful sorry Clementine.
