In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
Drove a duckling to the water
Every 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
You are 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 missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
So I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine
