Darling Clementine (Listen to midi)

 

             C                                                       G

1. In a cavern in a canyon excavating for a mine,

                   G7             C                    G                      C

    dwelt a miner, forty-niner and his daughter Clementine.

 

               C                                                                    G

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling Clementine,

              G7                     C                      G                  C

thou art lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.

 

                     C                                                                            G

2. Light she was and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine,

                  G7                  C                        G                     C

    herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine.

 

                       C                                                                     G

3. Drove she ducklings to the water, every morning just at nine,

                      G7                    C                G                     C

    struck her foot against a splinter, fell into a foaming brine.

 

               C                                                                     G

4. Rosy lips above the water, blowing bubbles mighty fine,

             G7                   C                   G                    C

    but alas, I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine.

 

                C                                                                                     G

5. How I missed her, how I missed her, how I missed my Clementine,

              G7                    C                   G                   C

    but I kissed her little sister, and forgot my Clementine.
