CLEMENTINE
DHG
D
In a cavern, in a canyon
A7
Excavating for a mine
G D
Lived a miner forty-niner
A7 D
And his daughter, Clementine
Refrain:
D
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
A7
Oh, my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever
A7 D
Dreadful sorry, 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,
Ev'ry 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,
But alas, I was no swimmer,
Neither was my Clementine.
In a churchyard near the
canyon,
Where the myrtle boughs
entwine,
Grow the roses in their posies,
Fertilised by Clementine.
Then, the miner, forty-niner,
Soon began to fret and pine,
Thought he oughter join his
daughter,
So he's now with Clementine.
In my dreams she still doth
haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked with
brine,
Then she rises from the waters,
And I kiss my Clementine.
How I missed her, how I missed
her,
How I missed my Clementine,
Til I kissed her little sister,
And forgot my Clementine.
