Clementine
| Notes: | a humorous folk ballad that starts sentimental and ends with a tongue-in-cheek twist. |

In a Ccavern, in a canyon, excavating for a G7mine,
Lived a G7miner, forty-Cniner, and his G7daughter ClemenCtine.
Oh my Cdarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenG7tine
Thou art lost and gone for Cever, dreadful G7sorry, ClemenCtine.
Light she Cwas, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number G7nine,
Herring G7boxes without Ctopses, sandals G7were for ClemenCtine.
Oh my Cdarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenG7tine
Thou art lost and gone for Cever, dreadful G7sorry, ClemenCtine.
Walking Clightly as a fairy, though her shoes were number G7nine,
Sometimes G7tripping, lightly Cskipping, lovely G7girl, my ClemenCtine
Oh my Cdarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenG7tine
Thou art lost and gone for Cever, dreadful G7sorry, ClemenCtine.
Drove she Cducklings to the water every morning just at G7nine,
Hit her G7foot against a Csplinter, fell in G7to the foaming Cbrine.
Oh my Cdarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenG7tine
Thou art lost and gone for Cever, dreadful G7sorry, ClemenCtine.
Ruby Clips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and G7fine,
But a-G7las, I was no Cswimmer, so I G7lost ClemenCtine.
Oh my Cdarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenG7tine
Thou art lost and gone for Cever, dreadful G7sorry, ClemenCtine.
In my Cdreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked in G7brine,
Though in G7life I used to Chug her, now she's G7dead I draw the Cline!
Oh my Cdarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenG7tine
Thou art lost and gone for Cever, dreadful G7sorry, ClemenCtine.
