Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, Clementine

You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon excavating for a mine

Lived 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

Light she was like a fairy and her shoes were number nine

Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine

Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, Clementine

You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine

Drove her ducklings to the water every morning just at nine

Hit her foot against a splinter fell into the foamy brine

Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, Clementine

You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine
