Clementine - Good Lovelies
In a cavern in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived 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
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You were 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 brine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
But alas I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
When the miner forty-niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he oughta join his daughter
Now he's with his Clementine
In the corner of the churchyard
Where the myrtle bows and twines
Grow the roses in their poses
Fertilized by Clementine
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garments soaked in brine
Though in life I used to hug her
Now she's dead I'll draw the line
How I miss her how I miss her
How I miss my Clementine
So I kiss her little sister
And forgot my Clementine
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
