Clementine

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', hey, just about dawnin'

A-when the sun began to shine

A-you know she would rouse up, wake all o' them cows up

And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine

A-took a-the foot bridge, way 'cross the water

A-though she weighed two-ninety nine

The old bridge trembled and disassembled

Woops! Dumped her into the foamy brine

Hey, crackle like thunder, ho, ho, you know she went under

Ho, ho, a-blowin bubbles (brrrr) down the line

Hey, I'm no swimmer but were she slimmer

I might'a saved that Clementine

Ho, 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

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

A-with your harpoon and your trusty line

If she shows now, yell, there she blows now

It just may be chunky Clementine, 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

(Brrrr) bye!
