Lyrics

[00:05.55] In a cavern down by a canyon
[00:11.11] Excavatin' for a mine,
[00:17.15] There lived a miner from North Carolina
[00:23.40] And his daughter, chubby Clementine.
[00:29.86]
[00:30.44] Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
[00:35.94] A'when the sun begins to shine
[00:42.19] You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up
[00:48.52] And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
[00:53.89]
[00:54.61] A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
[01:00.86] Though she weighed two-ninety nine.
[01:07.11] The old bridge trembled and disassembled
[01:13.40] (Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine.
[01:19.15]
[01:19.40] Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under
[01:25.78] (ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line.
[01:32.09] Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
[01:38.34] I might'a saved that Clementine.
[01:44.13]
[01:44.51] (Ho) broke the record, way under water
[01:50.82] I thought that she was doin' fine.
[01:57.03] I wasn't nervous ya until the service
[02:03.33] That they held for Clementine.
[02:09.08]
[02:09.45] Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
[02:15.83] With a harpoon, your trusty line.
[02:22.01] If she shows now, yo, there she blows now,
[02:28.34] It just may be chunky Clementine.
[02:33.77]
[02:34.30] (One more time)
[02:34.92] Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
[02:39.93] Oh my darlin' , oh my darlin' sweet Clementine,
[02:47.00] You may be gone
[02:49.67] But!
[02:50.58] You're not forgotten,
[02:53.31] Fare thee well
[02:57.03] So long, Clementine
[03:07.15] (Bubble sound) Bye!
[03:10.45]
