G
In a cavern, in a canyon,
D7
excavating for a mine;
C G
dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
D7 G
and his daughter Clementine.
G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
G
Light she was, and like a fairy,
D7
And her shoes were number nine,
C G
Herring boxes without topses,
D7 G
Sandals were for Clementine.
G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
G
Walking lightly as a fairy,
D7
Though her shoes were number nine,
C G
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,
D7 G
Lovely girl, my Clementine
G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

G
Drove she ducklings to the water
D7
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
C G
Hit her foot against a splinter,
D7 G
Fell into the foaming brine.
G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
G
Ruby lips above the water,
D7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine,
C G
But alas, I was no swimmer,
D7 G
Neither was my Clementine.
G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
G
I'm so lonely, lost without her,
D7
Wish I'd had a fishing line,
C G
Which I might have cast about her,
D7 G
Might have saved my Clementine.
G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
G
How I missed her, how I missed her,
D7
How I missed my Clementine,
C G
Til I kissed her little sister,
D7 G
And forgot my Clementine.
