In a cavern, in a 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.
Light she was, and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Walking lightly as a fairy,
Though her shoes were number nine,
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,
Lovely girl, my 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,
Hit 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,
Neither was my Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
In a churchyard near the canyon,
Where the myrtle doth entwine,
There grow rosies and some posies,
Fertilized by Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Then, the miner, forty-niner,
Soon began to fret and pine,
Thought he oughter join his daughter,
So he's now with Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
I'm so lonely, lost without her,
Wish I'd had a fishing line,
Which I might have cast about her,
Might have saved my 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 doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked with brine,
Then she rises from the waters,
And I kiss my Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Listen fellers, heed the warning
Of this tragic tale of mine,
Artificial respiration
Could have saved my Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
How I missed her, how I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
Til I kissed her little sister,
And forgot my Clementine.
* alternate
In a cavern, in a 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.
