Clementine

In a cavern down by a canyon
 ♪
 Excavatin' for a mine
 A-there lived a miner from North Carolina
 And his daughter chubby Clementine
 N'every mornin', hey just about dawnin'
 A'when the sun began to shine
 You know she would rouse up wake all a them cows up
 And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine
 She took the foot bridge way 'cross the water
 Though she weighed two-ninety nine
 The old bridge trembled and disassembled
 (Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine
 Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) you know she went under
 (Ho, ho) blowin bubbles down the line
 Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
 I might'a saved that Clementine
 (Hey) broke the record way under water
 I thought that she was doin' fine
 I wasn't nervous until the service
 That they held for Clementine
 Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
 With a harpoon your trusty line
 If she shows now, yeah, there she blows now
 It just may be chunky Clementine
 (One more time)
 Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
 Oh my darlin', oh my darlin' sweet Clementine
 You may be gone
 But!
 You're not forgotten
 Fare thee well
 So long Clementine
 Bye!
