Clementine

 D         
In a cavern, in a canyon,
A7
excavating for a mine;
G D
dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
A7 D
and his daughter Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
Light she was, and like a fairy,
A7
And her shoes were number nine,
G D
Herring boxes without topses,
A7 D
Sandals were for Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
Walking lightly as a fairy,
A7
Though her shoes were number nine,
G D
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,
A7 D
Lovely girl, my Clementine

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,

A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
Drove she ducklings to the water
A7
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
G D
Hit her foot against a splinter,
A7 D
Fell into the foaming brine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
Ruby lips above the water,
A7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine,
G D
But alas, I was no swimmer,
A7 D
Neither was my Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
In a churchyard near the canyon,
A7
Where the myrtle doth entwine,
G D
There grow rosies and some posies,
A7 D
Fertilized by Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
Then, the miner, forty-niner,
A7
Soon began to fret and pine,
G D
Thought he oughter join his daughter,

A7 G
So he's now with Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
I'm so lonely, lost without her,
A7
Wish I'd had a fishing line,
G D
Which I might have cast about her,
A7 D
Might have saved my Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
A7
Robed in garments soaked with brine,
G D
Then she rises from the waters,
A7 D
And I kiss my Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine
G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

D
Listen fellers, heed the warning
A7
Of this tragic tale of mine,
G D
Artificial respiration
A7 D
Could have saved my Clementine.

D
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
A7
oh my darling Clementine

G D
You are lost and gone forever,
A7 D
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
D
How I missed her, how I missed her,
A7
How I missed my Clementine,
G D
Til I kissed her little sister,

A7 D
And forgot my Clementine.

The winds have blown over the ocean,
And brought back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me;
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me.

Build it up with bricks and mortar,
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar,
Build it up with bricks and mortar,

Bricks and mortar will not stay,
Will not stay, will not stay,
Bricks and mortar will not stay,
My fair Lady.

Build it up with iron and steel,
Iron and steel, iron and steel,
Build it up with iron and steel,
My fair Lady.

Iron and steel will bend and bow,
Bend and bow, bend and bow,
Iron and steel will bend and bow,

Build it up with silver and gold,
Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Build it up with silver and gold,
My fair Lady.

Silver and gold will be stolen away,
Stolen away, stolen away,
Silver and gold will be stolen away,
My fair Lady.

Set a man to watch all night,
Watch all night, watch all night,
Set a man to watch all night,
My fair Lady.

Suppose the man should fall asleep,
Fall asleep, fall asleep,
Suppose the man should fall asleep?
My fair Lady.

Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
Smoke all night, smoke all night,
Give him a pipe to smoke all night,

Jimmy Crack Corn

Verse

D                  A
When I was young I used to wait

                  D
On the master and hand him his plate,

D7                  G
And Pass the bottle when he got dry,

A                  D
And brush away the blue tail fly.

Chorus

D                      A
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,

                     D
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,

D7                   G
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,

A                D
My master's gone away.

Lyrics
When I was young I used to wait
On the master and hand him his plate,
And Pass the bottle when he got dry,
And brush away the blue tail fly.

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
My master's gone away.

And when he ride in the afternoon,
I follow with a hickory broom;
The poney being very shy,
When bitten by the blue tail fly.

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
My master's gone away.

One day he rode around the farm,
The flies so numerous they did swarm;
One chanced to bite him on the thigh.
The devil take that blue tail fly.

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
My master's gone away.

The pony run, he jump and pitch,
And tumble mater in the ditch;
He died, and the jury wondered why;
The verdict was the blue tail fly.

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
My master's gone away.

They buried him 'neath the sycamore tree -
His epitaph there for to see:
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie,
The victim of a blue-tailed Fly."

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
My master's gone away.

A                      D
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

D                   A
And if that diamond ring turns to brass,

Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.

D                   A
And if that looking glass gets broke,

Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

D                 A
And if that billy goat won't pull,
A                      D
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

D                    A
And if that cart and bull turn over,
A                      D
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

D                     A
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
A                      D
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

D                     A
And if that horse and cart fall down,
A                                   D
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town!
