C G7
In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine,
G7 C G7 C
Lived a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine.
C G7
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine
C G7 C
Thou art lost and gone for ever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
C G7
Light she was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine,
G7 C G7 C
Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine.
C G7
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine
C G7 C
Thou art lost and gone for ever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
C G7
Walking lightly as a fairy, though her shoes were number nine,
G7 C G7 C
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping, lovely girl, my Clementine
C G7
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine
C G7 C
Thou art lost and gone for ever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
C G7
Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine,
G7 C G7 C
Hit her foot against a splinter, fell in to the foaming brine.
C G7
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine
C G7 C
Thou art lost and gone for ever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
C G7
Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine,
G7 C G7 C
But a-las, I was no swimmer, so I lost Clementine.
C G7
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine
C G7 C
Thou art lost and gone for ever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
C G7
In my dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked in brine,
G7 C G7 C
Though in life I used to hug her, now she's dead I draw the line!
C G7
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine
C G7 C
Thou art lost and gone for ever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
