Oh My Darling, Clementine chords
Percy Montrose (1884)
* alternate
In a Emcavern, in a canyon,
excavating for a Bm7mine;
dwelt a Amminer, forty-nEminer,
and his Bm7daughter ClementiEmne.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
Light she Emwas, and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number Bm7nine,
HerringAm boxes withoutEm topses,
Sandals Bm7were for ClementiEmne.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
Walking Emlightly as a fairy,
Though her shoes were number Bm7nine,
SometimesAm tripping, lightlyEm skipping,
Lovely Bm7girl, my ClementiEmne
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
Drove she Emducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at Bm7nine,
Hit herAm foot against aEm splinter,
Fell inBm7to the foaming brEmine.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
Ruby Emlips above the water,
Blowing bubbles soft and Bm7fine,
But Amalas, I was noEm swimmer,
Neither Bm7was my ClementiEmne.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
In a Emchurchyard near the canyon,
Where the myrtle doth entBm7wine,
There growAm rosies and someEm posies,
FertiBm7lized by ClementiEmne.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
Then, the Emminer, forty-niner,
Soon began to fret and Bm7pine,
Thought heAm oughter join hisEm daughter,
So he's Bm7now with ClementAmine.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
I'm so Emlonely, lost without her,
Wish I'd had a fishing Bm7line,
Which IAm might have cast Emabout her,
Might have Bm7saved my ClementiEmne.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
In my Emdreams she still doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked with Bm7brine,
Then sheAm rises from theEm waters,
And I Bm7kiss my ClementiEmne.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
Listen Emfellers, heed the warning
Of this tragic tale of Bm7mine,
ArtAmificial respEmiration
Could have Bm7saved my ClementiEmne.
Oh my Emdarling, oh my darling,
oh my darling ClemenBm7tine
You areAm lost and gone foEmrever,
dreadful Bm7sorry, ClementiEmne.
How I Emmissed her, how I missed her,
How I missed my ClemenBm7tine,
Til IAm kissed her littleEm sister,
And forBm7got my ClementiEmne.

Dwelt a miner, fortyAm-niner,

Oh myAm darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling ClemenG7tine
You are lost and gone foAmrever,
Dreadful Emsorry, ClemeEmntine.
