EN

In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner, forty-niner And his daughter Clementine Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine! You are 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 Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine! You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine! You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles soft and fine But alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine! You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine!
