     G
In a cavern, in a canyon, 
                 D7
excavating for a mine; 
        C            G
dwelt a miner, forty-niner, 
        D7             G
and his daughter Clementine.  
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.  
 

          G
Light she was, and like a fairy, 
                          D7
And her shoes were number nine, 
        C             G
Herring boxes without topses, 
        D7             G
Sandals were for Clementine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.  
 

        G
Walking lightly as a fairy, 
                             D7
Though her shoes were number nine, 
          C                 G
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping, 
       D7             G
Lovely girl, my Clementine 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever,  
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.  
 

          G
Drove she ducklings to the water 
                      D7
Ev'ry morning just at nine, 
        C              G
Hit her foot against a splinter, 
       D7             G
Fell into the foaming brine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.  
 
     G
Ruby lips above the water, 
                         D7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine, 
     C             G
But alas, I was no swimmer, 
        D7           G
Neither was my Clementine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.   
 

     G
In a churchyard near the canyon, 
                         D7
Where the myrtle doth entwine, 
           C               G
There grow rosies and some posies, 
     D7             G
Fertilized by Clementine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.  
 

          G
Then, the miner, forty-niner, 
                       D7
Soon began to fret and pine, 
           C                G
Thought he oughter join his daughter, 
        D7             C
So he's now with Clementine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.   
 

       G
I'm so lonely, lost without her, 
                       D7
Wish I'd had a fishing line, 
        C                G
Which I might have cast about her, 
           D7             G
Might have saved my Clementine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.   
 

      G
In my dreams she still doth haunt me, 
                              D7
Robed in garments soaked with brine, 
         C              G
Then she rises from the waters, 
      D7            G
And I kiss my Clementine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.  
 

       G
Listen fellers, heed the warning 
                       D7
Of this tragic tale of mine, 
    C           G
Artificial respiration 
           D7             G
Could have saved my Clementine. 
 

      G
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    D7
oh my darling Clementine 
        C                G
You are lost and gone forever, 
         D7           G
dreadful sorry, Clementine. 
 

      G
How I missed her, how I missed her, 
                      D7
How I missed my Clementine, 
      C                 G
Til I kissed her little sister, 
       D7           G
And forgot my Clementine.

In a cavern, in a canyon, 
                 G7
Excavating for a mine, 
                     C
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, 
        G7             C
And his daughter Clementine.  
 

      C
Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                    G7
Oh my darling Clementine 
                         C
You are lost and gone forever, 
         G7           C
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
