Clementine
Ton : EEnglish
EIn a cavern, in a canyon excavatingB7 for a mine;
Dwelt a Aminer, forty-niEner, and his B7daughter ClemenEtine.
[Refrain :]
Oh my Edarling, oh my darling, oh myB7 darling Clementine
You are Alost and gone foreveEr, dreadful B7sorry, ClemeEntine.
Light she Ewas, and like a fairy, And her shoes were nB7umber nine
Herring Aboxes without toEpses, Sandals wB7ere for ClementEine.
[Refrain]
Walking Elightly as a fairy, Though her shoes were B7number nine,
Sometimes Atripping, lightly skEipping, Lovely B7girl, my CleEmentine
[Refrain]
Drove she Educklings to the water Ev'ry moB7rning just at nine,
Hit her Afoot against a Esplinter, Fell B7into the foaming bErine.
[Refrain]
Ruby Elips above the water, Blowing buB7bbles soft and fine,
But aAlas, I was no sEwimmer, NeithB7er was my ClemEentine.
[Refrain]
In a Echurchyard near the canyon, Where the mB7yrtle doth entwine,
There grow Arosies and some Eposies, FertB7ilized by ClemeEntine.
[Refrain]
Then, the Eminer, forty-niner, Soon begB7an to fret and pine,
Thought he Aoughter join his daEughter, So he'B7s now with ClemAentine.
[Refrain]
I'm so Elonely, lost without her, Wish I'd had a B7fishing line,
Which I Amight have cast aEbout her, Might B7have saved my CElementine.
[Refrain]
In my dEreams she still doth haunt me, Robed in gaB7rments soaked with brine,
Then she Arises from the wEaters, AndB7 I kiss my CleEmentine.
[Refrain]
Listen Efellers, heed the warning Of thiB7s tragic tale of mine,
ArtiAficial respiEration Could havB7e saved my ClemEentine
[Refrain]
How I Emissed her, how I missed her, How B7I missed my Clementine,
Til I Akissed her little Esister, And fB7orgot my ClemEentine.
[Refrain]
