Clementine
Ton : EEnglish
Couplet
EIn a cavern, in a canyon excavating B7for a mine;
Dwelt a Aminer, forty-niEner, and his B7daughter ClemenEtine.
Refrain
Oh my Edarling, oh my darling, oh my B7darling Clementine
You are Alost and gone foreEver, dreadful B7sorry, CleEmentine.
Couplet
Light she Ewas, and like a fairy, And her shoes were B7number nine
Herring Aboxes without Etopses, Sandals B7were for ClemenEtine.
Refrain
Couplet
Walking Elightly as a fairy, Though her shoes were B7number nine,
Sometimes Atripping, lightly Eskipping, Lovely B7girl, my CleEmentine
Refrain
Couplet
Drove she Educklings to the water Ev'ry B7morning just at nine,
Hit her Afoot against a Esplinter, Fell B7into the foaming Ebrine.
Refrain
Couplet
Ruby Elips above the water, Blowing B7bubbles soft and fine,
But aAlas, I was no Eswimmer, NeiB7ther was my CleEmentine.
Refrain
Couplet
In a Echurchyard near the canyon, Where the B7myrtle doth entwine,
There grow Arosies and some Eposies, FerB7tilized by CleEmentine.
Refrain

Then, the Eminer, forty-niner, Soon beB7gan to fret and pine,
Thought he Aoughter join his Edaughter, So B7he's now with CleAmentine.
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 EClementine.
Refrain
Couplet
In my Edreams she still doth haunt me, Robed in B7garments soaked with brine,
Then she Arises from the Ewaters, And B7I kiss my CleEmentine.
Refrain

Listen Efellers, heed the warning Of B7this tragic tale of mine,
ArtiAficial respiEration Could B7have saved my CleEmentine
Refrain

How I Emissed her, how I missed her, How B7I missed my Clementine,
Til I Akissed her little Esister, And B7forgot my CleEmentine.
