DARLING CLEMENTINE

In a cavern, in a canyon,

Excavating for a mine,

Dwelt a miner, forty-niner,

And his daughter Clementine.

Refrain:

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.

Refrain

Walking lightly as a fairy,

Though her shoes were number nine,

Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,

Lovely girl, my Clementine.

Refrain

Drove she ducklings to the water

Ev’ry morning just at nine,

Hit her foot against a splinter,

Fell into the foaming brine.

Refrain

Ruby lips above the water,

Blowing bubbles soft and fine,

But alas, I was no swimmer,

Neither was my Clementine.

Refrain

In a churchyard near the canyon,

Where the myrtle doth entwine,

There grow rosies and some posies,

Fertilized by Clementine.

Refrain

Then, the miner, forty-niner,

Soon began to fret and pine,

Thought he oughter join his daughter,

So he’s now with Clementine.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
