E
In a cavern, in a canyon
                  B7
Excavating for a mine
                      E
Lived a miner, forty-niner
            B7         E
And his daughter Clementine

[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
                          E
Thou art lost and gone forever
          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 2]
           E
Light she was and like a fairy
                           B7
And her shoes were number nine
         E
Herring boxes, without topses
         B7             E
Sandals were for Clementine

[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
                          E
Thou art lost and gone forever
          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 3]
            E
Drove she ducklings to the water
                       B7
Every morning just at nine
             E
Stubbed her toe upon a splinter
       B7               E
Fell into the foaming brine

[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
                          E
Thou art lost and gone forever
          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 4]
      E
Ruby lips above the water
                          B7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
     E
But alas, I was no swimmer
      B7           E
So I lost my Clementine

[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
                          E
Thou art lost and gone forever
          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 5]
            E
There's a churchyard, on the hillside
                             B7
Where the flowers grow and twine
                   E
There grow roses, 'mongst the posies
      B7            E
Fertilized by Clementine

[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine
                          E
Thou art lost and gone forever
          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
