Verse 1:
 G     
 In a cavern, in a canyon, 
                  D7
 excavating for a mine, 
         C            G
 dwelt a miner, forty-niner, 
         D7             G
 and his daughter Clementine. 

Chorus:
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

Verse 2:
 Light she was, and like a fairy, 
                           D7
 And her shoes were number nine, 
         C             G
 Herring boxes without topses, 
         D7             G
 Sandals were for Clementine. 

Chorus:
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

Verse 3:
 Drove she ducklings to the water 
                       D7
 Ev'ry morning just at nine, 
         C              G
 Hit her foot against a splinter, 
        D7             G
 Fell into the foaming brine. 

Chorus:
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

Verse 4:
 Ruby lips above the water, 
                          D7
 Blowing bubbles soft and fine, 
      C             G
 But alas, I was no swimmer, 
      D7            G
 So I lost my Clementine. 

Chorus:
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

Verse 5:
 In a churchyard near the canyon, 
                          D7
 Where the myrtle doth entwine, 
            C             G
 There grow roses, pretty roses, 
      D7             G
 Fertilized by Clementine. 

Chorus:
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

Verse 6:
 Then, the miner, forty-niner, 
                        D7
 Soon began to peak and pine, 
             C                 G
 Thought he "oughter jine" his daughter, 
          D7             C
 Now he's with his Clementine. 

Chorus:
       G
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Verse 7:
 In my dreams she still doth haunt me, 
                               D7
 Robed in garments soaked with brine, 
           C              G
 Though in life I used to hug her, 
           D7              G
 Now she's dead I draw the line. 

Chorus:
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

Verse 8:
 Listen fellers, heed the warning 
                        D7
 Of this tragic tale of mine, 
     C           G
 Artificial respiration 
            D7             G
 Could have saved my Clementine. 

Chorus:
 Oh my darling, oh my darling, 
                     D7
 oh my darling Clementine. 
         C                G
 You are lost and gone forever, 
          D7           G
 dreadful sorry, Clementine. 

Verse 9 & End:
 How I missed her, how I missed her, 
                       D7
 How I missed my Clementine, 
       C                 G
 Til I kissed her little sister, 
        D7           G
 And forgot my Clementine.
