Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon \r<br>Excavating for a mine\r<br>Dwelt a miner, forty-niner\r<br>And his daughter Clementine\r<br>\r<br>Light she was, and like a fairy\r<br>And her shoes were number nine\r<br>Herring boxes without topses\r<br>Sandals were for Clementine\r<br>\r<br>Chorus\r<br>Oh my darling, oh my darling\r<br>Oh my darling Clementine\r<br>You are lost and gone forever\r<br>Im so sorry, Clementine\r<br>\r<br>Walking lightly as a fairy\r<br>Though her shoes were number nine\r<br>Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping\r<br>Lovely girl, my Clementine\r<br>\r<br>Drove the ducklings to the water\r<br>Every morning just at nine\r<br>Hit her foot against a splinter\r<br>Fell into the foaming brine\r<br>\r<br>Chorus\r<br>\r<br>Then the miner, forty-niner\r<br>Soon began to fret and pine\r<br>Thought he oughter join his daughter\r<br>So hes now with Clementine\r<br>\r<br>Im so lonely, lost without her\r<br>Wish Id had a fishing line\r<br>Which I might have cast about her\r<br>Might have saved my Clementine\r<br>\r<br>Chorus\r<br>Oh my darling, oh my darling\r<br>Oh my darling Clementine\r<br>You are lost and gone forever\r<br>Dreadful sorry, Clementine\r<br>\r<br>Listen fellers, heed the warning\r<br>Of this tragic tale of mine\r<br>Artificial respiration\r<br>Could have saved my Clementine\r<br>\r<br>How I missed her, how I missed her\r<br>How I missed my Clementine\r<br>Til I kissed her little sister\r<br>And forgot my Clementine
