In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner from North Carolina
And his daughter chubby Clementine
Now every mornin' just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse up wake all a dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine
A'took the foot bridge way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two ninety nine
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
Oops
Dumped her into the foamy brine
Hey crackle like thunder
Ho ho
She went under
Ho ho
Blowin bubbles
Bubble sound
Down the line
Hey I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
I might'a saved that Clementine
Ho
Broke the record way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous ya until the service
That they held for Clementine
Hey you sailor
Ho ho
Way out in your whaler
With a harpoon your trusty line
If she shows now yo there she blows now
It just may be chunky Clementine
One more time
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin' sweet Clementine
You may be gone
But
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well
So long Clementine
Bubble sound
Bye
