G
In a cavern in a canyon
D7
excavating for a mine
C G
dwelt a miner forty-niner
D7 G
and his daughter Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
Light she was and like a fairy
D7
And her shoes were number nine
C G
Herring boxes without topses
D7 G
Sandals were for Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
Walking lightly as a fairy
D7
Though her shoes were number nine
C G
Sometimes tripping lightly skipping
D7 G
Lovely girl my Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
Drove she ducklings to the water
D7
Ev'ry morning just at nine
C G
Hit her foot against a splinter
D7 G
Fell into the foaming brine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
Ruby lips above the water
D7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
C G
But alas I was no swimmer
D7 G
Neither was my Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
In a churchyard near the canyon
D7
Where the myrtle doth entwine
C G
There grow rosies and some posies
D7 G
Fertilized by Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
Then the miner forty-niner
D7
Soon began to fret and pine
C G
Thought he oughter join his daughter
D7 G
So he's now with Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
I'm so lonely lost without her
D7
Wish I'd had a fishing line
C G
Which I might have cast about her
D7 G
Might have saved my Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
In my dreams she still doth haunt me
D7
Robed in garments soaked with brine
C G
Then she rises from the waters
D7 G
And I kiss my Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
Listen fellers heed the warning
D7
Of this tragic tale of mine
C G
Artificial respiration
D7 G
Could have saved my Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
dreadful sorry Clementine
G
How I missed her how I missed her
D7
How I missed my Clementine
C G
Til I kissed her little sister
D7 G
And forgot my Clementine
G
In a cavern in a canyon
D7
excavating for a mine
C G
dwelt a miner forty-niner
D7 G
and his daughter Clementine
G
Oh my darling oh my darling
D7
Oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever
D7 G
Dreadful sorry Clementine
