Clementine

In a cavern down by canyon Excavatin' for a mine There lived a miner from North Carolina And his daughter chubby Clementine Now every mornin' hey just about dawnin' A when the sun begins to shine You know she would rouse up wake all a dem cows up And walk'em down to her Daddy's mine she took the foot bridge way cross the water Though she weighed two ninety nine The old bridge trembled and disassembled Oops dumped her into the foamy brine Hey crackle like thunder you know she went under blowin bubbles down the line Hey I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a I might'a saved that Clementine Hey broke the record way under water I thought that she was doin' fine I wasn't nervous until the service That they held for Clementine Hey you sailor way out in your whaler With a harpoon your trusty line If she shows now yeah there she blows now It just may be chunky Clementine One more time Oh my darlin' oh my darlin' oh my darlin' Oh my darlin' oh my darlin' sweet Clementine May be gone But you're not forgotten Fare thee well So long Clementine Bye
