Oh my darlin’ Clementine
You’re lost and gone forever
In a cavern, in a canyon
Digging a mine
Lived a miner forty niner
And his daughter Clementine
How I loved her when she told me
She would be mine
Told the miner forty niner
I’d take care of Clementine
She filled buckets at the river
Each day at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Ruby lips above the water
Hands reaching for mine
Alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
In my dreams she still haunts me
Clothes soaked in brine
I’ll ne’er forgive the river
For he stole my Clementine
Oh my darlin’ Clementine
You’re lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
