In a c	avern, in a canyon, Excavating for a m	ine

Dwelt a m	iner forty n	iner, And his d	aughter Clement	ine

Oh my d	arling, Oh my darling, oh my darling, Clement	ine!

	C	G	D7	G
You are l	ost and gone for	ever, Dreadful s	orry, Clement	ine

Light she w	as and like a fairy, And her shoes were number n	ine

Herring b	oxes, without t	opses, Sandals w	ere for Clement	ine

You are l	ost and gone for	ever, Dreadful s	orry, Clement	ine

Oh my d	arling, Oh my darling, oh my darling, Clement	ine!

	C	G	D7	G
You are l	ost and gone for	ever, Dreadful s	orry, Clement	ine

Ruby l	ips above the water, Blowing bubbles, soft and f	ine

Oh my d	arling, Oh my darling, oh my darling, Clement	ine!

There grow r	oses, ‘mongst the p	osies, Fertil	ized by Clement	ine

Oh my d	arling, Oh my darling, oh my darling, Clement	ine!

In my dr	eams she still doth haunt me, Robed in garlands soaked in br	ine

Though in l	ife I used to h	ug her, Now she’s d	ead, I draw the l	ine

Oh my d	arling, Oh my darling, oh my darling, Clement	ine!

You are l	ost and gone for	ever, Dreadful s	orry, Clement	ine
