My Darling Clementine.
- Gold Rush Folk Song.
*******************************************************
_______________________________________________________
1) In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine (chorus)
*******************************************************
CHORUS:
_______________________________________________________
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Clementine;
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
_______________________________________________________
2) Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine;
Herring boxes without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine. (chorus)
*********************************************************
3) Drove she ducklings to the water,
Every morning just at nine;
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine. (chorus)
*********************************************************
4) Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles soft and fine;
But alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine. (chorus)
*********************************************************
5) There's a churchyard on the hillside,
Where the flowers grow and twine,
There grow roses, 'mongst the posies,
Fertilized by Clementine. (chorus)
*********************************************************
6) Then the miner, forty-niner,
Soon began to peak and pine;
Thought he oughta join his daughter,
Now he's with his Clementine. (chorus)
*********************************************************
7) Now you Boy Scouts, heed this warning,
Of this little tale of mine;
Artificial respiration,
Would have saved my Clementine. (chorus)
