In a cavern, In a canyon,

Excavating for a mine,

Lived a miner, forty niner

And his daughter Clementine.

Chorus:

Oh my darling, Oh my darling,

Oh my darling Clementine,

You are lost and gone forever,

Dreadful sorry Clementine.

Repeat chorus

Light she was and like a fairy,

And her  shoes were number.

Herring boxes, without topses,

Sandals were for Clementine.

Repeat chorus

Drove she ducklings to the water,

Every morning just at nine;

stucked her toe upon a splinter,

fell into the foaming brine.

Repeat chorus

Ruby …......... above the water,

Blowing bubbles, soft and fine;

But Alas! I was no …..............,

So I lost my Clementine.

Repeat chorus

There’s a churchyard on the hill side,

Where the …........... grow entwine,

There grow the …...... the poses,

Fertilized by Clementine.

Repeat chorus
