Oh My Darling Clementine

Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You were lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner forty-niner And his daughter, Clementine Yes I loved her, how I loved her Though her shoes were number nine Herring boxes, without topses Sandals were for Clementine Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You were lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine Drove the horses to the water Every 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 So I lost my Clementine Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You were lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine
