Clementine In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Lived a miner forty-niner And his daughter, Clementine Chorus: 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 (chorus) Drove her ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine (chorus) Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles soft and fine But, alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine (chorus)

Then the miner, forty-niner Soon began to peak and pine Thought he ought to join his daughter Now he's with his Clementine (chorus) There's a churchyard on the hillside Where the flowers grow and twine There grow roses, amongst the posies Fertilized by Clementine (chorus) In my dreams she still doth haunt me Robed in garments soaked in brine Though in life I used to hug her Now she's dead, I draw the line (Chorus x2) How I missed her, how I missed her How I missed my Clementine Till I kissed her little sister And forgot my Clementine Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

This is the way we bake our bread, So early Saturday morning. This is the way we go to church, Go to church, go to church. This is the way we go to church, So early Sunday morning.
