2) Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine, Herring boxes, without topses, Sandals were for Clementine. --Chor. Drove she ducklings to the water Ev'ry morning just at nine, Hit her foot against a splinter, Fell into the foaming brine. -- Chor.
3) Ruby lips above the water, Blowing bubbles, soft and fine, But, alas, I was no swimmer, So I lost my Clementine. -- Chor. How I missed her, how I missed her How I missed my Clementine. So I kissed her little sister, And forgot my Clementine. In a corner of the churchyard, Where the myrtle boughs entwine, Grow the roses in their poses, Nourished by Clementine. -- Chor.
Ruby lips above the water, Blowing bubbles, soft and fine, But, alas, I was no swimmer, So I lost my Clementine. -- Chor. In a churchyard on a hillside Where the flowers grow and twine There grow roses amongst the posies On the grave of Clementine-Chor.
