Westlife - Clementine Lyrics
In a cavern down by a canyonExcavatin' for a mine,There lived a miner from North CarolinaAnd his daughter, chubby Clementine.Now every mornin',hey, just about dawnin'when the sun began to shineYou know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows upAnd walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine.She took the foot bridge, way 'cross the waterThough 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'aI might'a saved that Clementine.(Ho) broke the record, way under waterI thought that she was doin' fine.I wasn't nervous ya until the serviceThat they held for Clementine.Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whalerWith a harpoon, your trusty line.If she shows now, yeah, well 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 goneBut!You're not forgotten,Fare thee wellSo long, ClementineBye!
