Connie Francis - Oh My Darling Clementine

Clementine

In a cavern in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine.

Chorus:
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine,
You were lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was and like a feather
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine.

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
