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.
