Oh My Darling Clementine

in a cavern in a canyon
 excavating for a mine
 dwelt a miner, 49er
 and his daughter Clementine.
 light she was and like a feather
 and her shoes were number 9
 herring boxes without topses
 sandals were for Clementine.
 o my darling, o my darling
 o my darling Clementine
 thou art lost and gone forever
 dreadful sorry Clementine.
 drove she ducklings to the water
 every morning just at nine
 hit her foot against a splinter
 fell into the foaming bline
 ruby lips above the water
 blowing bubbles soft and fine
 But alas i was no swimmer
 so i lost my Clementine
 o my darlin, o my darlin Clementine
 thou art lost and gone forever
 dreadful sorry Clementine
 in a church yard
 near the canyon
 where the myrtle doth entwine
 there grow roses and the posies
 therein lies my Clementine
 in my dreams they still follow me
 roaming garments soaked in brine
 and she rises from the water
 and i kiss my Clementme.
 o my darlin, o my darlin
 o my darling Clementine
 thou art lost and gone forever
 dreadful sorry Clementine.
 o in life you were my darling
 now you're gone dear Clementine.
