Clementine

Lyrics：Woody Harris Music：Woody Harris

In a cavern

Down by a canyon

Excavatin' for a mine

There lived a miner

From North Carolina

And … his daughter

Chubby Clementine.

Now, every mornin'

Yeah … just about dawnin'

When the sun

Began to shine

You know she would rouse up

Wake all-a-dem cows up

And … walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.

I took the footbridge

Way 'cross the water

Though she weighed

Two ninety-nine

The old bridge trembled

And disassembled … oops!

Dumped her into the foamy brine.

Hey … crack like thunder … hut, hut …

You know she went under … hut, hut …

Blowin’ bubbles down the line

Hey!　I'm no swimm'a

But were she slimm'a

I might'a saved

That Clementine.

Ho … she broke the record

Way under water

I thought that she was doin' fine

I wasn't nervous

Not until the service

That they held

For Clementine.

Hey … you sailor … hut, hut …

Way out in your whaler

A-with your harpoon an’ your trusty line

If she shows now,yell... …

A-there she blows now!

It just may be

Chunky, Clementine.

One more time!

Oh, my darlin' … oh, my darlin'

Oh, my darlin'　… oh, my darlin'

Oh, my darlin' … sweet Clementine

You may be gone … but …

You're not forgotten

Fare thee well …

So long …

Clementine …

Bye!
