Drowned daughter of a miner in a western US folk ballad (10)

I believe the answer is:

clementine

(Other definitions for clementine that I've seen before include "Forty-niner's daughter; Mrs W. S. Churchill" , "juicy type" , "suits citrus production" , "Citrus fruit" , "Unwell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
