[Verse]
A# Gm7
Twas on one summer's evening, all in the month of May
F C Gm C
Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did stray
A# F
I overheard a young maid, in sorrow to complain
Gm7 F A# F C F
All for her handsome sailor boy, who ploughed the raging Main
[Verse]
A# Gm7
I boldly stepped up to her and put her in such surprise
F C Gm C
I'll vow she did not know me, I being all in disguise
A# F
Says, "I'm a charming creature, my joy and heart's delight
Gm7 F A# F C F
How far have you to travel this queer and stormy night?"
[Verse]
A# Gm7
"My way, kind sir, to the Claudy Banks, if you will please to show
F C Gm C
Pity a poor girl distracted, for there I have to go
A# F
I am in search of a young man and Johnny is his name
Gm7 F A# F C F
Along the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain"
[Verse]
A# Gm7
"'Tis six long months and better, since your true love left the shore
F C Gm C
In passing the wide ocean, where French's cannons roar
A# F
In crossing the wide ocean, with honour and for gain
Gm7 F A# F C F
I'm told his ship was wrecked, all on the coast of Spain"

C Am7
Now, on hearing of this dreadful news, she fell into despair
G D Am D
With a wringing of her hands and a tearing of her hair
C G C G
"Oh, since he's gone and left me, no other man I'll take
Am7 G C G D G
Oh, on the banks of Claudy, I'll wander for his sake"
[Verse]
C Am7
Now, my heart was filled with joy that night, I could no longer stand
G D Am D
I fell into her arms, crying, "Betsy, I'm that man
C G C G
I am your faithful young man, whom once you thought was slain
Am7 G C G D G
But now, since we've met on Claudy Banks, we'll never part again"
