Clementine
1. In a cavern in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner forty-niner And his daughter Clementine Ch. Oh my darling oh my darling Oh my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry Clementine 2. Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses Sandals were for Clementine 3. Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning just at mine Struck her foot against a splinter Fell into a foaming brine 4. Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles mighty fine But alas! I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine 5. How I missed her how I missed her How I missed my Clementine But I kissed her little sister And forgot my Clementine
