Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for mine.
Lived a miner forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine,
You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Light she was and like a feather, and her shoes were number nine.
Herring boxes without topses,sandals were for Clementine
Drove she ducklings to the water, every morning just at nine.
Hit her foot 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
Brother, come and dance with me
Girls: Brother, come and dance with me
Both my hands I give to thee
Right foot first, left foot then
Round about and back again
Boys: I would dance, but don't know how
When to step and when to bow
Show me what I ought to do
And then I'll come and dance with you
Both: Let your feet go tap, tap, tap
Let your hands go clap, clap, clap
Right foot first, left foot then
Round about and back again
Let your head go nick, nick, nick,
Let your fingers click, click, click
Right foot first, left foot then
Round about and back again
