Oh My Darling Clementine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt 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 [Verse 2] Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes, without topses Sandals were for Clementine [Chorus] Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 3] Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine [Chorus] Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine [Verse 4] Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles, soft and fine But, alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine [Chorus] Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
