paroles de chanson Clementine - Bobby Darin

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', hey, just about dawnin'
A-when the sun began to shine
A-you know she would rouse up, wake all o' them cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine

A-took a-the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
A-though she weighed two-ninety nine
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
Woops! Dumped her into the foamy brine

Hey, crackle like thunder, ho, ho, you know she went under
Ho, ho, a-blowin bubbles (brrrr) down the line
Hey, I'm no swimmer but were she slimmer
I might'a saved that Clementine

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

Hey, you sailor ho, ho, way out in your whaler
A-with your harpoon and your trusty line
If she shows now, yell, there she blows now
It just may be chunky Clementine, one more time

Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling sweet Clementine
You may be gone, but you're not forgotten
Fare thee well
So long, Clementine
(Brrrr) bye!
