Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine; Herring boxes without topses, Sandals were for Clementine.
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
In a cavern, in a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, And his daughter, Clementine.
(Chorus)
Chorus: Oh my darling, oh my darling, Oh my darling, Clementine! You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
