CLEMENTINE by: The ink spots
The Ink
Spots were a popular American vocal group that
helped define the
musical genre
that led to rhythm & blues and rock and roll, and the
subgenre doo-wop. They and the Mills Brothers, another
black vocal group of the 1940s, gained most acceptance
in the white community. They formed in Indianapolis in
the early
1930s
with members Jerry Daniels (a tenor who was replaced by
the most famous member, Bill Kenny, in early
1936),
baritone Charlie Fuqua, second tenor Ivory "Deek"
Watson, and bass Orville "Hoppy" Jones.

n a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner forty niner And his daughter, Clementine. Oh, my darling, oh my darling Oh, my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine. Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses Sandals were for Clementine. Oh, my darling, oh my darling Oh, my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine. Drove she ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine, Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine. Oh, my darling, oh my darling Oh, my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine. Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles soft and fine Buit alas I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine Oh, my darling, oh my darling Oh, my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine. How I missed her, how I missed her How I missed my Clementine But I kissed her little sister, I forgot my Clementine Oh, my darling, oh my darling Oh, my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
