Clementine Lyrics

Intro is F#m with a bit of a hammer on the low A note
#note# in-between sections the song finds it's grove by
reverting to F#m for a couple of bars.
As the song goes on, F#m stays for longer with slidey bits.
These can be slid between E--0--2--5 or B--2-5-7-10
In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine
Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.
horus:
Clementine, Clementine,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot there against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.
Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.
horus:
Clementine, Clementine,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
then the miner, 49er
soon began to peak and pine
thought he aughta join his daughter
now he's left with clementine
in my dreams she still does haunt me
broken garments soaked in brine
though in life I used to hug her
in death i draw the line
horus:
Clementine, Clementine,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
so I kissed her little sister,
and I forgot my Clementine.
horus:
Clementine, Clementine,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
clementine, clementine
you are lost and gone, Clementine
clementine...
slide around in !
horus:
Clementine, Clementine,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
clementine, clementine
you are lost and gone, Clementine
