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