Good Lovelies - Clementine lyrics

In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Lived a miner forty-niner And his daughter, Clementine Chorus: Oh, my darlin', oh my darlin' Oh my darlin', Clementine! You were lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine! Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses Sandals were for clementine Chorus... Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning, just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine Chorus... Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles, soft and fine But alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine Chorus... When the miner, forty-niner Soon began to peak and pine Thought he oughta join his daughter Now he's with his Clementine Chorus... In the corner, of the churchyard Where the myrtle bows and twines Grow the roses in their poses Fertilized by Clementine Chorus... In my dreams she still doth haunt me Robed in garments soaked in brine Though in life I used to hug her Now she's dead, I'll draw the line Chorus... How I miss her, how I miss her How I miss my Clementine! So I kiss her little sister... And forgot my Clementine Chorus... Chorus...
