  you are lost and gone forever dreadful sorry Clementine.
2.Light she was and like a fairy and her shoes were number nine
  herring boxes without topses sandals were for Clementine.
R:3. Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine
  struck her foot against a splinter fell into the foaming brine.
R:4. Ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles mighty fine
  but alas I was no swimmer so I lost my Clementine.
R:5. How I missed her how I missed her how I missed my Clementine
  but I kissed her little sister and forgot my Clementine.
