Clementine Lyrics - Kid Songs

 In a cavern, in a canyon

Excavating for a mine

Lived 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

Light she was and like a fairy

And her shoes were number nine

Herring boxes without topses

Sandals were for Clementine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Drove her ducklings 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

Ruby lips above the water

Blowing bubbles soft and fine

But alas, I was no swimmer

So I lost my Clementine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Then the miner, forty-niner

Soon began to peak and pine

Thought he oughta join his daughter

Now he's with his Clementine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

There's a churchyard on the hillside

Where the flowers grow and twine

There grow roses, amongst the posies

Fertilized by Clementine

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 garlands soaked in brine

Though in life I used to hug her

Now she's dead, I draw the line

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Now you scouts may learn the moral

Of this little tale of mine

Artificial respiration

Would have saved my Clementine

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling

Oh, my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

How I missed her, how I missed her

How I missed my Clementine

Till 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
