Oh My Darling Clementine

C


[Verse]
     C
In a cavern, in a canyon
                 G
Excavating for a mine
        F           C
Dwelt a miner forty-niner
        G               C
And his daughter, Clementine

      C
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                     G
Oh my darling, Clementine
        F                C
You are lost and gone forever
         G            C
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

          C
Light she was and like a fairy
                          G
And her shoes were number nine
Continues after the ad
        F              C
Herring boxes, without topses
        G              C
Sandals were for Clementine

      C
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                     G
Oh my darling, Clementine
        F                C
You are lost and gone forever
         G            C
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

          C
Drove she ducklings to the water
                      G
Every morning just at nine
        F              C
Hit her foot against a splinter
       G              C
Fell into the foaming brine

      C
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                     G
Oh my darling, Clementine
        F                C
You are lost and gone forever
         G            C
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

     C
Ruby lips above the water
                          G
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine
      F             C
But, alas, I was no swimmer
     G             C
So I lost my Clementine

      C
Oh my darling, oh my darling
                     G
Oh my darling, Clementine
        F                C
You are lost and gone forever
         G            C
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
