Oh My Darlin' Clementine

in a cavern
 in a canyon,
 excavating for a mine,
 Lived a miner forty-niner,
 and his daughter
 Clementine
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 Clementine
 you are lost and gone forever,
 dreadful sorry
 Clementine
 light she was and
 like a fairy
 and her shoes were number
 nine,
 herring boxes
 without topses
 sandles were for
 clementine
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 Clementine
 you are lost and gone forever,
 dreadful sorry
 Clementine.
 drove she ducklings
 to the water,
 every morning just at
 nine,
 stubbed her toe against a splinter
 fell into the foaming
 brine.
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 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 darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 Clementine
 you are lost and gone forever,
 dreadful sorry
 Clementine
 how i missed her,
 how i missed her,
 how i missed my
 clementine,
 until i kissed her little sister,
 and forgot my
 clementine.
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 oh my darlin',
 Clementine
 you are lost and gone forever,
 dreadful sorry
 Clementine.
