[Verse]
G#m E F#
'Twas on a summer's morning all in the month of May
B G#m E F#
When through some flowery garden, I carelessly did stray
E B F# E F#
I overheard a damsel in sorrow to complain
B E F# B F# B
All for her absent lover, that ploughs the raging Main
[Verse]
G#m E F#
I step-ped up unto her and put her in surprise
B G#m E F#
I swear she did not know me, I being all in disguise
E B F# E F#
Says I, “My handsome maiden, my joy and heart's delight
B E F# B F# B
How far must you then wander this dark and dreary night?”
[Verse]
G#m E F#
“Just to the banks of Claudy, if you'll be pleased to show
B G#m E F#
Take pity on a stray maid, it's there I have to go
E B F# E F#
In search of a faithless young man and Johnny is his name
B E F# B F# B
And on the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain”
[Verse]
G#m E F#
"These are the Banks of Claudy, young maid whereon you stand
B G#m E F#
But do not trust your Johnny, for he's a false young man
E B F# E F#
No, do not trust your Johnny, he will not meet you here
B E F# B F# B
So come with me to the meadows and nothing need you fear"
[Verse]
G#m E F#
"If Johnny he were here this night, he'd keep me from all harm
B G#m E F#
But he's in the field of battle, all in his uniform
E B F# E F#
He strives in the field of battle, his foes he will destroy
B E F# B F# B
Like a royal king of honour that fought on the banks of Troy"
[Verse]
G#m E F#
"'Tis six long years or better since Johnny left this shore
B G#m E F#
He's cruising the main ocean, performing billows roar
E B F# E F#
He's cruising the main ocean for honour and for gain
B E F# B F# B
But I'm told his ship was wreck-ed on the cruel coast of Spain"
[Verse]
G#m E F#
Oh, when she heard this dreadful news, she fell in deep despair
B G#m E F#
A-wringing of her milk-white hands and a-tearing of her hair
E B F# E F#
"If my Johnny he be drownded, no man alive I'll take
B E F# B F# B
Through lonesome groves and valleys, I'll wander for his sake"
[Verse]
G#m E F#
When he saw her love for him, no longer could he stand
B G#m E F#
He flew into her arms, saying, "Patsy I'm your man
E B F# E F#
I am your faithless young man who you thought lay slain
B E F# B F# B
Now since we met on Claudy Banks we'll never part again"
