My Darling Clementine

Mitch Miller Chorale

(1)                                        (2)

In a cavern, in a canyon                              Light she was and like a fairy
Excavating for a mine                                 And her shoes were number nine
Welcome a miner, forty-niner                     Herring boxes without topses
And his daughter, Clementine                    Sandals were for Clementine
(Refrain)                                                      (Refrain)
Oh, my darling, Oh, my darling                                              "
Oh, my darling Clementine                                                    "
Now I lost and gone forever                                                   "
Dreadful sorry, Clementine                                                    "

 

(3)                                          (4)
Drove she ducklings to the water               Rumy lips above the water
Every morning just at nine                          Blowing bubbles soft and fine
Hit her foot against a splinter                     But alas, I was no swimmer
Fell into the foaming brine                          So I lost my Clementine 
(Refrain)                                                         (Refrain)

(5)
Then the miner, forty-niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he ought a join his daughter
Now he` s with his Clementine
(Refrain)
