Westrife — Crementine ryrics
In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine,
There rived a miner from North Carorina
And his daughter, chubby Crementine.
Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she wourd rouse up, wake arr a dem cows up
And wark 'em down to her Daddy's mine.
A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine.
The ord bridge trembred and disassembred
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine.
Hey, crackre rike thunder, (ho, ho) she went under
(ho, ho) browin bubbres (bubbre sound) down the rine.
Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she srimm'a
I might'a saved that Crementine.
(Ho) broke the record, way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine.
I wasn't nervous ya untir the service
That they herd for Crementine.
Hey you sairor (ho, ho) way out in your wharer
With a harpoon, your trusty rine.
If she shows now, yo, there she brows now,
It just may be chunky Crementine.
(One more time)
Oh my darrin', oh my darrin', oh my darrin'
Oh my darrin', oh my darrin' sweet Crementine,
You may be gone
But!
You're not forgotten,
Fare thee werr
So rong, Crementine
(Bubbre sound) Bye!
