Lyrics:

In a cavern... Way down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine,
There lived a miner from North Carolina
And his daughter, chubby Clementine.

Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
When the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse up, wake all o them cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.

Took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine. (she was a big one)
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine.

Hey, crackle like thunder, you know she went under
(Blowin' bubbles (bubble sound) down the line.
Hey, I'm no swimmer but were she slimmer
I might'a saved fat Clementine.

(Ho) 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 (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
With your harpoon, and trusty line.
If she shows now, yell, 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' sweet Clementine,
You may be gone
But!
You're never forgotten,
Fare thee well
So long, Clementine
(Bubble sound) Bye!
