Key of C<\/span><\/p>\n

In a [C] cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a [G] mine, dwelt a [F] miner forty-[C]-niner and his [G] daughter, Clemen-[C]-tine<\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes I [C] loved her, how I loved her, though her shoes were number [G] nine.\u00a0 Herring [F] boxes, without [C] topses.\u00a0 Sandals [G] were for Clemen-[C]-tine<\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

{ CHORUS } – – – – – Oh my [C] darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, Clemen-[G]-tine.\u00a0\u00a0 You are [F] lost and gone [C] forever.\u00a0 Dreadful [G] sorrow, Clemen-[C]-tine.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Drove the [C] horses to the water, every morning just at [G] nine.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Hit her [F] foot against a [C] splinter.\u00a0 Fell [G] into the foaming [C] brine<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ruby [C] lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and [G] fine.\u00a0\u00a0 But [F] alas, I was no [C] swimmer, so I [G] lost my Clemen- [C] -tine<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

{ CHORUS } – – – – –<\/span> <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In a [C] corner of the churchyard, where the myrtle boughs en- [G] -twine, grow the [F] roses in their[C]\u00a0 poses, ferti- [G] -lized by Clemen-[C]-tine<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now you [C] Boy Scouts, here’s the moral to this little tale of [G] mine: \u00a0 Arti- [F] -ficial respir- [C] -ation, would have [G] saved my Clemen-[C]-tine.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

{ CHORUS } – – – – – Oh my [C] darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, Clemen-[G]-tine.\u00a0\u00a0 You are [F] lost and gone [C] forever.\u00a0 Dreadful [G] sorrow, Clemen-[C]-tine.<\/span> <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
