Clementine

[Verse 1] In a cavern, in a canyon excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner forty niner and his daughter clementine Light she was and like a fairy and her shoes were number nine Herring boxes, without topses, sandals were for clementine [Chorus] Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine [Verse 2] Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine Ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles, soft and fine But, alas, i was no swimmer so I lost my clementine [Chorus] Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine [Verse 3] Then the miner forty-niner soon began to peak and pine Thought he oughta join his daughter, now he's left with Clementine In my dreams she still does haunt me, robed in garments, soaked in brine Though in life i used to hug her, in death I draw the line [Chorus] Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine [Verse 4] How I missed her, how I missed her How I missed my Clementine So i kissed her little sister And I forgot my Clementine [Chorus] Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine Clementine, Clementine You are lost and gone, Clementine Clementine [Chorus] Clementine, Clementine Oh my darling, Clementine Clementine, Clementine You are lost and gone, Clementine [Outro] Clementine
