Clementine

Verse 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. Clementine, Clementine, Oh my darling, Clementine! Verse Drove she ducklings to the water Ev'ry morning just at nine, Hit her foot there 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. Clementine, Clementine, Oh my darling, Clementine! Verse then the miner, 49er soon began to peak and pine thought he aughta join his daughter now he's left with clementine in my dreams she still does haunt me broken garments soaked in brine though in life I used to hug her in death i draw the line Clementine, Clementine, Oh my darling, Clementine! Verse How I missed her! How I missed her, How I missed my Clementine, so I kissed her little sister, and I forgot my Clementine. Clementine, Clementine, Oh my darling, Clementine! clementine, clementine you are lost and gone, Clementine clementine... slide around in Clementine, Clementine, Oh my darling, Clementine! clementine, clementine you are lost and gone, Clementine
