Clementine - Susie Tallman
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
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Light she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Oh my Darling Oh my Darling
Oh my Darling Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Now you Boy Scouts there's a moral
To this little tale of mine
Artificial respiration
Would have saved my Clementine
Oh my Darling Oh my Darling
Oh my Darling Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Oh my Darling Oh my Darling
Oh my Darling Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
