[Verse]
C Am7
Twas on one summer's evening, all in the month of May
G D Am D
Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did stray
C G
I overheard a young maid, in sorrow to complain
Am7 G C G D G
All for her handsome sailor boy, who ploughed the raging Main
[Verse]
C Am7
I boldly stepped up to her and put her in such surprise
G D Am D
I'll vow she did not know me, I being all in disguise
C G
Says, "I'm a charming creature, my joy and heart's delight
Am7 G C G D G
How far have you to travel this queer and stormy night?"
[Verse]
C Am7
"My way, kind sir, to the Claudy Banks, if you will please to show
G D Am D
Pity a poor girl distracted, for there I have to go
C G
I am in search of a young man and Johnny is his name
Am7 G C G D G
Along the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain"
[Verse]
C Am7
"'Tis six long months and better, since your true love left the shore
G D Am D
In passing the wide ocean, where French's cannons roar
C G
In crossing the wide ocean, with honour and for gain
Am7 G C G D G
I'm told his ship was wrecked, all on the coast of Spain"

D Bm7
Now, on hearing of this dreadful news, she fell into despair
A E Bm E
With a wringing of her hands and a tearing of her hair
D A D A
"Oh, since he's gone and left me, no other man I'll take
Bm7 A D A E A
Oh, on the banks of Claudy, I'll wander for his sake"
[Verse]
D Bm7
Now, my heart was filled with joy that night, I could no longer stand
A E Bm E
I fell into her arms, crying, "Betsy, I'm that man
D A D A
I am your faithful young man, whom once you thought was slain
Bm7 A D A E A
But now, since we've met on Claudy Banks, we'll never part again"
