Cliff Eberhardt - Clementine
[Intro]
G D G
[Verse 1]
In a cavern, in a canyon
D7
Excavating for a mine
C G
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
D7 G
And his daughter Clementine
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
G
Light she was, like a feather
D7
And her shoes were number nine
C G
Herring boxes without topses
D7 G
Sandals were for Clementine
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
G
Drove she ducklings to the water
D7
Every morning just at nine
C G
Hit her foot against a splinter
D7 G
Fell into the foaming brine
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
