Clementine lyrics

In a cavern, in the 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

Drove she ducklings to the water

Ev'ry morning just at nine

Dropped 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 Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

In my dreams she still doth haunt me

Robed in garments soaked in brine

How in life I used to hug her

Now she's gone, I'll draw the line

Oh my darling, oh my darling

Oh my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine
