Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner
From North Carolina
And his daughter, chubby Clementine
[Verse 2]
Now every mornin', yeah, just about dawn and
When the sun began to shine
You know she would rouse up
Wake all of them cows up
And walk 'em down to her daddy's mine
[Verse 3]
Ah, took the foot bridge way cross the water
Though she weighed 299
The old bridge trembled
And disassembled
Whoops, dumped her into the foamy brine
[Verse 4]
Hey, crackle like thunder, ho ho, you know she went under
Ho, ho, blowin' bubbles down the line
Hey, I'm no swimmer
But were she slimmer
I might've saved that Clementine
[Verse 5]
Oh, she broke the record way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous
Not until the service
That they held for Clementine
[Verse 6]
Hey, you sailor, ho ho, way out in your whaler
With your harpoon and your trusty line
If she shows now
Yo, now there she blows now
It just may be chunky Clementine
[Verse 7]
One more time
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, sweet Clementine
You may be gone
But you're not forgotten
Fare thee well, so long Clementine
Bye
