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.
