In a [F] cavern in a canyon, Excavating for a [C] mine
Lived a miner forty-[F] niner, And his [C] daughter Clemen[F] tine.
Oh, my [F] darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine.
You are lost and gone fo[F] rever, Dreadful [C] sorry Clemen[F] tine.
Light she [F] was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number [C] nine:
Herring boxes without [F] topses, Sandals [C] were for Clemen[F] tine.
Oh, my [F] darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine.
You are lost and gone fo[F] rever, Dreadful [C] sorry Clemen[F] tine.
Drove she [F] ducklings to the water, Every morning at [C] nine.
Stubbed her toe against a [F] splinter; Fell in[C] to the foaming [F] brine.
Oh, my [F] darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine.
You are lost and gone fo[F] rever, Dreadful [C] sorry Clemen[F] tine.
Ruby [F] lips above the water Blowin' bubbles soft and [C] fine.
But, alas, I was no [F] swimmer, SO U [C] lost my Clemen[F] tine.
Oh, my [F] darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine.
You are lost and gone fo[F] rever, Dreadful [C] sorry Clemen[F] tine.
How I [F] missed her, how I missed her, How I missed my Cleme[C] ntine,
Until I kissed her little [F] sister, And for[C] got my Clemen[F] tine!
Oh, my [F] darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine.
You are lost and gone fo[F] rever, Dreadful [C] sorry Clemen[F] tine.
