Cat. #1004 (MFH #170) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 7, 1969
VERSE 1
In a canyon, in a cavern
Examination for a mine
Lived a miner, a forty niner
An' his daughter, Clementine
VERSE 2
Se drove 'er duck's, to th water
Ever morning just at nine
H'it 'er foot again a splinter
Fell into th foamin' brine
CHORUS:
O my darlin', O my darlin'
O my darling Clementine
You are lost an' gone forever
Dreadful sorro, Clementine
VERSE 4
Her ruby lips above th water
Blowin' bubbles soft an' fine
But atlas she was no swimmer
So, I lost my Clementine
