E
In a cavern, in a canyon
B7
Excavating for a mine
E
Lived a miner, forty-niner
B7 E
And his daughter Clementine
Chorus
E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
E
Thou art lost and gone forever
B7 E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Verse 2
E
Light she was and like a fairy
B7
And her shoes were number nine
E
Herring boxes, without topses
B7 E
Sandals were for Clementine
Chorus
E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
E
Thou art lost and gone forever
B7 E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Verse 3
E
Drove she ducklings to the water
B7
Every morning just at nine
E
Stubbed her toe upon a splinter
B7 E
Fell into the foaming brine
Chorus
E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
E
Thou art lost and gone forever
B7 E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Verse 4
E
Ruby lips above the water
B7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
E
But alas, I was no swimmer
B7 E
So I lost my Clementine
Chorus
E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
E
Thou art lost and gone forever
B7 E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Verse 5
E
There's a churchyard, on the hillside
B7
Where the flowers grow and twine
E
There grow roses, 'mongst the posies
B7 E
Fertilized by Clementine
Chorus
E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
E
Thou art lost and gone forever
B7 E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
