in a cavern, down by a canyon , excavating, for a mine
there lived a miner, from north carolina, and his daughter, chubby Clementine
every mornin', just about dawnin', when the sun, began to shine
y'know she would rouse up, wake all of them cows up, and walk them down, to her daddies mine
we took the footbridge, across the water, and though she weighed two-ninety-nine
that bridge trembled, and dissassembled, dropped her in, to the foamy brine
cracked like thunder, you know she went under, blowing bubbles, down the line
now i'm no swimmer, but where she thinner, i might've saved that Clementine
she broke the record, way under water, we thought she, was doing fine
i wasnt nervous, not until the service, that they held, for Clementine
so hey ya sailor! way out on ya whaler, with your harpoon, your trusty line
if she shows now, yell "there she blows" now, it just may be, chunky Clementine!
and thats all! yay! great classic song, have fun strumming along!
