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