| In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner from North Carolina
And his daughterchubby Clementine.
Now every mornin'just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse upwake all a dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
A'took the foot bridgeway 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine.
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine.
Heycrackle like thunder(hoho) she went under
(hoho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line.
HeyI'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
I might'a saved that Clementine.
(Ho) broke the recordway 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 (hoho) way out in your whaler
With a harpoonyour trusty line.
If she shows nowyothere 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 longClementine
(Bubble sound) Bye!
