Clementine

In a cavern down by a canyon

Excavatin' for a mine

There lived a miner

From North Carolina

And his daughter, chubby Clementine

Now every mornin', yeah, just about dawn and

When the sun began to shine

You know she would rouse up

Wake all of them cows up

And walk 'em down to her daddy's mine

Ah, took the foot bridge way cross the water

Though she weighed 299

The old bridge trembled

And disassembled

Whoops, dumped her into the foamy brine

Hey, crackle like thunder, ho ho, you know she went under

Ho, ho, blowin' bubbles down the line

Hey, I'm no swimmer

But were she slimmer

I might've saved that Clementine

Oh, she broke the record way under water

I thought that she was doin' fine

I wasn't nervous

Not until the service

That they held for Clementine

Hey, you sailor, ho ho, way out in your whaler

With your harpoon and your trusty line

If she shows now

Yo, now there she blows now

It just may be chunky Clementine

One more time

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling, sweet Clementine

You may be gone

But you're not forgotten

Fare thee well, so long Clementine

Bye
