Clementine

In a cavern Down by a canyon Excavatin' for a mine There lived a miner From North Carolina And... his daughter Chubby Clementine. Now, every mornin' Yeah... just about dawnin' When the sun Began to shine You know she would rouse up Wake all-a-dem cows up And... walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine. I took the footbridge Way 'cross the water Though she weighed Two ninety-nine The old bridge trembled And disassembled... oops! Dumped her into the foamy brine. Hey... crack like thunder... hut, hut... You know she went under... hut, hut... Blowin' bubbles down the line Hey! I'm no swimm'a But were she slimm'a I might'a saved That Clementine. Ho... she broke the record Way under water I thought that she was doin' fine I wasn't nervous Not until the service That they held For Clementine. Hey... you sailor... hut, hut... Way out in your whaler A-with your harpoon an' your trusty line If she shows now,yell...... A-there she blows now! It just may be Chunky, Clementine. One more time! Oh, my darlin'... oh, my darlin' Oh, my darlin' ... oh, my darlin' Oh, my darlin'... sweet Clementine You may be gone... but... You're not forgotten Fare thee well... So long... Clementine... Bye!
