:

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 , just about dawnin

A when the sun begins to shine

You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up

And walk em down to her Daddy s mine.

A 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, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under

(ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line.

Hey, I m no swimm a but were she slimm a

I might a saved that Clementine.

(Ho) broke the record, way under water

I thought that she was doin fine.

I wasn t nervous ya until the service

That they held for Clementine.

Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler

With a harpoon, your trusty line.

If she shows now, yo, 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!
