Oh My Darling Clementine

Oh My Darling Clementine - Magnus Carlson/Martin Hederos/Percy Montrose

In a cavern in a canyon

Excavating for a mine

Lived a miner forty-niner

And his daughter Clementine

Light she was 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

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry Clementine

Drove she ducklings to the water

Every morning just at nine

Hit her foot against a splinter

Fell into the foaming brine

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

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry Clementine

In the church yard in the canyon

Where the myrtle doth entwine

There grows roses and other posies

Fertilized by Clementine

In my dreams she still doth haunt me

Robed in garments soaked in brine

Then she rise from the water

Then I kiss my Clementine

Oh my darling Oh my darling

Oh my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry Clementine

Oh my darling Oh my darling

Oh my darling Clementine

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry Clementine

In my life you are my darling

Now you gone Clementine
