Clementine

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', here just about dawnin'
When the sun began to shine
You know she would rouse up, wake all of them cows up
And walk 'em down to her daddy's mine

I 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, it cracked like thunder (Ho, ho)
You know she went under (Ho, ho)
Blowin' bubbles *bubble sound* down the line
Hey, I'm no swimmer, but were she slimmer
I might'a saved that Clementine

(Ho) She broke the record, way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous, not until the service
That they held for Clementine

Hey you, sailor (Ho, ho) way out in your whaler
With your harpoon and your trusty line
If she shows now, yell, "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!
