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