Clementine

Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling Clementine



In a cavern in a canyon

Excavating for a mine

Lived a miner forty-niner

And his offspring Clementine



Light she was and like a fairy

And her shoes were number nine

Herring boxes without topses

That's my chick dear Clementine



Oh my darling

Oh my darling

Oh my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry Clementine



Drove the ducklings to the water

Every morning just about nine

Hit her foot on a splinter

And toppled into the foaming brine Clementine



{solo}



Her ruby lips above the water

Blowing bubbles soft and fine

But alas I was no swimmer

So I lost dear 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 does haunt me

Robed in garments soaked in brine

Though in life I used to squeeze her

Now she's dead poor Clementine
