  • 1. In a cavern in a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Lived a miner forty-niner, And his daughter Clementine. (CHORUS) Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.
    2. Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine: Herring boxes without topses, Sandals were for Clementine. Repeat Chorus: Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.
    3. Drove she ducklings to the water, Every morning at nine. Stubbed her toe against a splinter; Fell into the foaming brine. Repeat Chorus: Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.
    4. Ruby lips above the water Blowin' bubbles soft and fine. But, alas, I was no swimmer, SO U lost my Clementine. Repeat Chorus: Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.
    5. How I missed her, how I missed her, How I missed my Clementine, Until I kissed her little sister, And forgot my Clementine! Repeat Chorus: Oh, my darlin', Oh my darlin', Oh my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.

    The miner was a forty-niner, which means he was a part of the 1849 Gold Rush to California. Over 300,000 people moved to California after the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill was widely publicized. Inevitably, most of these people were not proper miners, and many were not even well equipped to make the journey west to start an expensive venture.
    In the song the miner has a daughter named Clementine. He can’t afford to buy her shoes, so she is wearing small wooden boxes on her feet, referred to as “herring boxes without topses. “ The boxes are also referred to as her sandals.
    Because she is wearing rough wooden boxes on her feet, she gets a splinter which causes her to stumble and fall into the water as she was driving the ducklings into the water. She drowned because her father, the miner, could not swim and therefore could not save her. “Dreadful sorry, Clementine,” he sings.

      @@kukaliemikalie8157 I think that part is supposed to explain why he didn't at least TRY to save her. Most fathers would jump in, knowing they would drown, just to attempt a rescue. Just at a chance to save their daughter.
      Except this father has a SECOND daughter for which he is responsible and therefore couldn't die trying to save one daughter and possibly leaving the second daughter and orphan.
      Afterwards, he returns home and kisses the little sister, taking comfort in knowing that he made the best decision for at least one of his children, and trying to make his peace with the loss of his other daughter. Life was much, much harder in the 1800's than it is today. Losing children was not uncommon. You needed to accept the tragedy of it, move on with life, and be grateful for what you have.

      I don't understand it, because it is supposed to be from the perspective of Clementine's lover, this means that the lover could not save her, not the father, that is, the "dreadful sorry" part refers to the lover and not the father

    Back in the 70s, I wanted to join a vocal quintet in my high school. In order to get in, I (along with a whole bunch of other kids) had to do a couple of minutes A cappella (my choice). All the other kids did something either upbeat and/or contemporary or Amazing Grace. When I started singing this there were lots of jaw drops and snickers, but I got Mrs. Simonson's attention and made the group. So I have a soft spot for this song.

    I find it both hilarious and saddening how everyone is misinterpreting this song, though it's understandable because only about half the verses are included in this rendition. It's a man mourning the loss of his girlfriend and then moving on to her sister(which was common in that day and area, as people were few and far between), not an incestuous father mourning his daughter and then getting with his other daughter. This song is meant to be darkly humorous.

    I sang this in a Choir in elementary school, and randomly while watching Star Trek: Voyager the EMH started singing this (S6E1) and it blew my mind that I could still recite most of the lyrics. Immediately started singing along. Music can be such a trip.

I still recall him singing this song and spoke high of British and Scottish. My father went to be with god in the year 2018. This song brings back memories of my father and fills my eyes with tears. Someday i will come to the UK where my father spent 30 years of his life to atleast pay a tribute to his soul ! Long live the friendship between Nepal and UK

    Y'know, I see a lot of people misinterpreting this song in the comments, the meaning should be obvious, is about a father, the miner, who lost his daughter Clementine because he couldn't swim to save her and missed her deeply, but he had other daughter and was able to move on with his life.

      Misinterpreting? The lyrics are quite clear that the narrator is not the father. It's someone who was in love with a miner's daughter, but couldn't save her when she drowned. Then (in the last verse) he kissed her younger sister and fell in love with her, so everything ended up fine. Like many folk songs, it's morphed and become genericized.

      Charlotte Rhodes “Oh My Darling, Clementine” is a traditional American folk song, commonly credited to Percy Montrose (1884).
      The lyrics have changed over time, and what started as a sincere lament became a parody. Clementine is the daughter of a 49er, a miner in the 1849 California Gold Rush. But she drowned. As the song progresses, the changes become evident, with the tone turning tongue-in-cheek. The second verse, for example, mentions the size of Clementine’s feet: so big she wears boxes instead of shoes.”

We all had to sing it, and as I think back on it, it seemed like kind of a silly kids song (and I thought it was about the singer's lover, not his daughter) (and as a 6 year old, I never understood the part about "49er",it sort of reminded of the foot ball team, and I never understood what actually happened to Clementine), but I didn't know what the song was actually about, I knew it had some kind of sad tone to it, but I didn't know just how sad and dark (and I guess mature) it really was. Now, when I listen to it, I'm kind of taken back by it.

      it hit different to me even more cause my music teacher in like 1st-2nd grade had taught our class, “oh my darlin, oh my darlin, oh my darlin clementine, you were lost and now i found you, oh my darlin clementine” and not the real lyrics. like damn i just wanted to re-listen to this song for some nostalgia not to cry lmao

    I known this song from a short JP comic, which about the time during Vietnam War, an American deserter was rescued by a local lass, they fell in love each other, but sadly the lass was send to the war before she left she ask the man to look after her home until she return, then 7 years later war were end only a little girl came back, and the last view is that man turns older and singing this song, 'clementine' is lost and gone forever, the lass dead in the war and that little girl is their child😢

      I thought it was her boyfriend and after Clementine died he took her younger sister as a lover.

      Wtf it literally says in the song,
      " lived a miner, 49er, and his DAUGHTER, Clementine"
      Also this isn't in Alabama since the dad is a 49er, so it's in California.

      the one who sung this song is Clementine lover not the Father, Her Father was 3rd person here. *hint : His Daughter not my daughter and *my darling Clementine not His darling Clementine.

    I listened to this song and then watched anohana a few days later and when I watched it. I kept thinking of this song. And another thing I know how people are focused of the irresponsible father who failed to save his daughter and then forgets about her after kissing his younger daughter. The person singing this has a very beautiful voice

    Notice the lyrics on the description.
    " But, alas, I was no swimmer, *SO U* lost my Clementine. "
