In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his offspring Clementine.

Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Thats my chick dear Clementine.

Refrain:
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just about nine,
Stubbed her toe against a splinter,
And toppled 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.

Refrain

In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked in brine;
How in life I used to meet her,
Now she's dead, poor Clementine.
