Lyrics：Woody Harris Music：Woody Harris
In a cavern
Down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner
From North Carolina
And … his daughter
Chubby Clementine.
Now, every mornin'
Yeah … just about dawnin'
When the sun
Began to shine
You know she would rouse up
Wake all-a-dem cows up
And … walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
I took the footbridge
Way 'cross the water
Though she weighed
Two ninety-nine
The old bridge trembled
And disassembled … oops!
Dumped her into the foamy brine.
Hey … crack like thunder … hut, hut …
You know she went under … hut, hut …
Blowin’ bubbles down the line
Hey!　I'm no swimm'a
But were she slimm'a
I might'a saved
That Clementine.
Ho … she broke the record
Way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous
Not until the service
That they held
For Clementine.
Hey … you sailor … hut, hut …
Way out in your whaler
A-with your harpoon an’ your trusty line
If she shows now,yell... …
A-there she blows now!
It just may be
Chunky, Clementine.
One more time!
Oh, my darlin' … oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin'　… oh, my darlin'
Oh, my darlin' … sweet Clementine
You may be gone … but …
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well …
So long …
Clementine …
Bye!
