In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner, 'forty-niner'
And his daughter, Clementine

Oh! my darling, oh! my darling
Oh! my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was as any fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine

Oh! my darling, oh! my darling
Oh! my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine

Oh! my darling, oh! my darling
Oh! my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Saw her lips above the water
Blowing bubbles mighty fine
But, alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

Oh! my darling, oh! my darling
Oh! my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

In a corner of the churchyard
Where the myrtle boughs entwine
Grow the roses in their posies
Fertilised by Clementine

Oh! my darling, oh! my darling
Oh! my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Then the miner, 'forty-niner'
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he "oughta jine" his daughter
Now he's with his Clementine

Oh! my darling, oh! my darling
Oh! my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garments soaked in brine
Though in life I used to hug her
Now she's dead, I'll draw the line

Oh! my darling, oh! my darling
Oh! my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
But I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine!
