[Verse 1]
Near a cavern, in the canyon
In the shadow of the hill
It was there I kept a cathouse
With my oldest brother Bill

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 2]
Though at first, we didn't prosper
Soon we started doing fine
When a girl came down from Gloucester
By the name of Clementine

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forevеr
Dreadful sorry, Clementinе

[Verse 3]
She was plain, she was scrawny
She had no gift of gab
But she had the kind of quim, boys
That would reach right out and grab
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 4]
Then the nights were filled with music
The days were filled with song
Our safe was stuffed with money
Clementine was stuffed with dong

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 5]
But one day there came a stranger
This time she'd met her match
He had a rifled member
She had a smooth-bore snatch

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
[Verse 6]
Brother Bill was first to notice
He shouted to her, "Turn!"
But before those words were spoken
She was spilt from stem to stern

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 7]
We tore that dude to pieces
He was dead within the hour
And we left his cursed member
For the coyotes to devour

[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

[Verse 8]
Every day down by the graveyard
When they toll the mission bell
We all lay a wreath of roses
'Round the quim we loved so well
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
