In a cavern, in a canyon,
Dwelled a miner, fourteen -niner,
And his daughter Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful story Clementine.
Like she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Wearing boxes with tautopsies
And those were for Clementine
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Joshie duck clings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas, I was not swimmer
Oh my darling, oh my darling
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry clementine
How I missed my Clementine!
Then I kissed her little sister
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
