 WESTLIFE - Clementine Lyrics

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', just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.

A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine.
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
[Oops!] dumped her into the foamy brine.

Hey, crackle like thunder, [ho, ho] she went under
[ho, ho] blowin bubbles [bubble sound] down the line.
Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
I might'a saved that Clementine.
j19o12211f1420103loo20.

[Ho] broke the record, way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine.
I wasn't nervous ya until the service
That they held for Clementine.

Hey you sailor [ho, ho] way out in your whaler
With a harpoon, your trusty line.
If she shows now, yo, 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
[Bubble sound] Bye!
