C
In a cavern in a canyon
                 G
Excavating for a mine
        G7          C
Lived a miner forty-Niner
        G             C
and his daughter Clemetine
C        
Oh my darlin Oh my darlin
      C            G 
Oh my darlin Clementine
        G7               C
You are lost and gone forever
         G           C
Dreadful sorry Clementine
C                 C
Light she was and like a fairy
                          G
And her shoes were number nine
        G7            C
Herring boxes without topses
        G              C 
Sandals were for Clementine
          C                C
Drove she ducklings to the water
      C              G
Every moring just at nine
        G7             C
Hit her foot against a splinter
       G              C      
Fell into the foaming brine
     C              C
Ruby lips above the water
        C                G
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
     G7           C
But alas I was no swimmer
     G             C
So I lost my Clementine
     C
In a churchyard near the canyon
          C           G
Where the myrtle doth entwine
        G7           C
Mounded over full of clover
     G              C
Fertilized by Clementine
C                   C
I, the miner, forty-niner
       C               G
Soon began to peak and pine
          G7             C
Though in life I used to hug her
          G               C
Now she's dead I draw the line
       C
Listen fellers, heed this warning
        C              G 
Of this tragic tale of mine
    G7           C 
Artificial respiration
           G              C
Could have saved my Clementine
