In a cavern, in a canyon,

Light she was, and like a fairy,

Drove she ducklings to the water

Ev'ry morning just at nine,

Hit her foot against a splinter,

Fell into the foaming brine.

D7
oh my darling Clementine.

Ruby lips above the water,

Blowing bubbles soft and fine,

But alas, I was no swimmer,

So I lost my Clementine.

oh my darling Clementine.

In a churchyard near the canyon,

Where the myrtle doth entwine,

There grow roses, pretty roses,

Fertilized by Clementine.

oh my darling Clementine.

Soon began to peak and pine,

Thought he "oughter jine" his daughter,
D7 C
Now he's with his Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine.
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
D7
Robed in garments soaked with brine,
C G
Though in life I used to hug her,
D7 G
Now she's dead I draw the line.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
oh my darling Clementine.

You are lost and gone forever,

Listen fellers, heed the warning

Of this tragic tale of mine,

Artificial respiration

Could have saved my Clementine.

oh my darling Clementine.

dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Verse 9 & End
How I missed her, how I missed her,
D7
How I missed my Clementine,
C G
Til I kissed her little sister,
D7 G
And forgot my Clementine.
