Kan orin

In a cavern, in a canyon,

Excavating for a mine

Dwelt 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.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Drove she ducklings to the water

Ev'ry morning just at nine,

Hit her foot against a splinter,

Fell into the foaming brine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Ruby lips above the water,

Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,

But, alas, I was no swimmer,

So I lost my Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

How I missed her! How I missed her,

How I missed my Clementine,

But I kissed her little sister,

I forgot my Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling, Clementine!

You are lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine
