Clementine 

In a cavern, in a canyon, 
Excavating for a mine, 
Dwelt a miner, Forty Niner,
And his daughter, Clementine.
Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

She drove ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine,
Hit her big toe against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.
Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

​Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubblies 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 are lost and gone forever,
​Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
