In a cavern, in a canyon, Excavating for a mine,
Lived a miner, forty nine, And his daughter Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine!
You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry, Clementine!

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