Sweet Clementine (Oh My Darling, Clementine)

In a valley, near the river

Working hard to find the line

Lived a miner, old and weary

With his daughter, Clementine

Oh sweet darling, oh sweet darling

Oh sweet darling, Clementine

Though you wandered, gone forever

Always shining, Clementine

Light she moved, just like a feather

With her shoes of number nine

Wooden boxes held together

Made the sandals, Clementine

Oh sweet darling, oh sweet darling

Oh sweet darling, Clementine

Though you wandered, gone forever

Always shining, Clementine

Led the ducklings to the water

Every morning right on time

Tripped upon a stone beneath her

Fell into the flowing brine

Oh sweet darling, oh sweet darling

Oh sweet darling, Clementine

Though you wandered, gone forever

Always shining, Clementine

Golden lips above the water

Whispered bubbles soft and fine

But I could not swim to reach her

So I lost my Clementine

Oh sweet darling, oh sweet darling

Oh sweet darling, Clementine

Though you wandered, gone forever

Always shining, Clementine.
