In A Canyon, In A Cavern

Excavating For A Mine

Lived 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



Drove She Ducklings To The Water,

Every Morning, Just At Nine

Hit Her Foot Against A Splinter,

Fell Into The Foaming Brine



Ruby Lips Above The Water,

Blowing Bubbles, Soft And Fine

'Las For Me, I Was No Swimmer,

So I Lost My Clementine



Oh My Darlin', Oh My Darlin',

Oh My Darlin' Clementine,

You Are Lost And Gone Forever,

Dreadful Sorry, Clementine
