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