Clementine
06:40

Verse: In a cavern, in a canyon,
excavating for a mine
dwelt a miner, forty-niner
and his daughter Clementine
Chorus: Oh my darling, oh my darling
oh my darling Clementine
Thou/You are/art 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
Walking lightly as a fairy
Though her shoes were number nine
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping
Lovely girl, my Clementine
Chorus
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
Neither was my Clementine
Chorus
In a churchyard near the canyon
Where the myrtle doth entwine
There grow rosies and some posies
Fertilized by Clementine
Chorus
Then, the miner, forty-niner
Soon began to fret and pine
Thought he oughter join his daughter
So he's now with Clementine
Chorus
I'm so lonely, lost without her
Wish I'd had a fishing line
Which I might have cast about her
Might have saved my Clementine
Chorus
In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garments soaked with brine
Then she rises from the waters
And I kiss my Clementine
Chorus
Listen fellers, heed the warning
Of this tragic tale of mine
Artificial respiration
Could have saved my Clementine
How I missed her, how I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
Til I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
Twas grace that thought my heart to fear
and grace my fears released. How precious
did that grace appear
the hour I first believed
When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when did when we first begun
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
