Chorus Verse 1 Verse 2 Verse 3 Chorus Verse 4 |
(The surprising "happy-ending" version)
Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine Are you lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner, forty-niner And his daughter, 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 Ev'ry 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 Are you lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles, soft and fine But, by luck, I was a swimmer So I saved my Clementine |
