Well, minor, a forty -niner,
an d his daughter Clementine
Light she was, and like a fairy,
she touched my heart with her design
The lass of love I'd hoped to marry,
but fate's denied it Clementine
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling,
oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorry Clementine
Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against the splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
In my dreams she's still to haunt me
Dressed in garland, soaked in brine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
In the silence of the canyon,
through the whispers of a pine,
Comes a voice that gently calls me,
singing sadly Clementine.
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling,
oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful, sorry Clementine
Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin',
oh, my darlin', Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
dreadful sorrow, Clementine
Though in life I used to love you
Now you're gone, dear Clementine
