Clementine

E In a cavern, in a canyon B7 Excavating for a mine E Lived a miner, forty-niner B7 E And his daughter Clementine E Oh my darling, oh my darling B7 Oh my darling, Clementine E Thou art lost and gone forever B7 E Dreadful sorry, Clementine E Light she was and like a fairy B7 And her shoes were number nine E Herring boxes, without topses B7 E Sandals were for Clementine E Oh my darling, oh my darling B7 Oh my darling, Clementine E Thou art lost and gone forever B7 E Dreadful sorry, Clementine E Drove she ducklings to the water B7 Every morning just at nine E Stubbed her toe upon a splinter B7 E Fell into the foaming brine E Oh my darling, oh my darling B7 Oh my darling, Clementine E Thou art lost and gone forever B7 E Dreadful sorry, Clementine E Ruby lips above the water B7 Blowing bubbles soft and fine E But alas, I was no swimmer B7 E So I lost my Clementine E Oh my darling, oh my darling B7 Oh my darling, Clementine E Thou art lost and gone forever B7 E Dreadful sorry, Clementine E There's a churchyard, on the hillside B7 Where the flowers grow and twine E There grow roses, 'mongst the posies B7 E Fertilized by Clementine E Oh my darling, oh my darling B7 Oh my darling, Clementine E Thou art lost and gone forever B7 E Dreadful sorry, Clementine
