In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Light she was and like a feather
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
