Oh My Darling Clementine - Traditional
Near a cavern, across from a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Lived a miner, forty-niner And his daughter Clementine Oh my Darling, Oh my Darling, Oh my Darling Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry, Clementine. Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses Sandals were for Clementine. CHORUS: meaning bydebi I never knew it was quite so, is 'pragmatic' the word? It was much more light hearted than I thought before reading the words once more. See all Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine, Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine. CHORUS: Ruby lips above the water, Blowing bubbles soft and fine, But alas, I was no swimmer, So I lost my Clementine. CHORUS: CHORUS: Then the miner, forty-niner, Soon began to peak and pine, Thought he oughter join his daughter, Now he's with his Clementine. CHORUS: In the church yard in the canyon Where the myrtle doth entwine There grows roses and other posies Fertilized by Clementine. CHORUS: How i missed her, how i missed her, how i missed my Clementine! Til' i kissed her little sister, and forgot my Clementine.
