| [00:05.55] |
In a cavern down by a canyon |
| [00:11.11] |
Excavatin' for a mine, |
| [00:17.15] |
There lived a miner from North Carolina |
| [00:23.40] |
And his daughter, chubby Clementine. |
| [00:29.86] |
|
| [00:30.44] |
Now every mornin', just about dawnin' |
| [00:35.94] |
A'when the sun begins to shine |
| [00:42.19] |
You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up |
| [00:48.52] |
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine. |
| [00:53.89] |
|
| [00:54.61] |
A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water |
| [01:00.86] |
Though she weighed two-ninety nine. |
| [01:07.11] |
The old bridge trembled and disassembled |
| [01:13.40] |
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine. |
| [01:19.15] |
|
| [01:19.40] |
Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under |
| [01:25.78] |
(ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line. |
| [01:32.09] |
Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a |
| [01:38.34] |
I might'a saved that Clementine. |
| [01:44.13] |
|
| [01:44.51] |
(Ho) broke the record, way under water |
| [01:50.82] |
I thought that she was doin' fine. |
| [01:57.03] |
I wasn't nervous ya until the service |
| [02:03.33] |
That they held for Clementine. |
| [02:09.08] |
|
| [02:09.45] |
Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler |
| [02:15.83] |
With a harpoon, your trusty line. |
| [02:22.01] |
If she shows now, yo, there she blows now, |
| [02:28.34] |
It just may be chunky Clementine. |
| [02:33.77] |
|
| [02:34.30] |
(One more time) |
| [02:34.92] |
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin' |
| [02:39.93] |
Oh my darlin' , oh my darlin' sweet Clementine, |
| [02:47.00] |
You may be gone |
| [02:49.67] |
But! |
| [02:50.58] |
You're not forgotten, |
| [02:53.31] |
Fare thee well |
| [02:57.03] |
So long, Clementine |
| [03:07.15] |
(Bubble sound) Bye! |
| [03:10.45] |
