Tekst liryki In a cavern, in a canyon, Excavating for a mine Dwelt 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! Thou art lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Drove she ducklings to the water Ev'ry 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! Thou art lost and gone forever
