[Verse]
G Em7
Twas on one summer's evening, all in the month of May
D A Em A
Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did stray
G D
I overheard a young maid, in sorrow to complain
Em7 D G D A D
All for her handsome sailor boy, who ploughed the raging Main
[Verse]
G Em7
I boldly stepped up to her and put her in such surprise
D A Em A
I'll vow she did not know me, I being all in disguise
G D
Says, "I'm a charming creature, my joy and heart's delight
Em7 D G D A D
How far have you to travel this queer and stormy night?"
[Verse]
G Em7
"My way, kind sir, to the Claudy Banks, if you will please to show
D A Em A
Pity a poor girl distracted, for there I have to go
G D
I am in search of a young man and Johnny is his name
Em7 D G D A D
Along the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain"
[Verse]
G Em7
"'Tis six long months and better, since your true love left the shore
D A Em A
In passing the wide ocean, where French's cannons roar
G D
In crossing the wide ocean, with honour and for gain
Em7 D G D A D
I'm told his ship was wrecked, all on the coast of Spain"

A F#m7
Now, on hearing of this dreadful news, she fell into despair
E B F#m B
With a wringing of her hands and a tearing of her hair
A E A E
"Oh, since he's gone and left me, no other man I'll take
F#m7 E A E B E
Oh, on the banks of Claudy, I'll wander for his sake"
[Verse]
A F#m7
Now, my heart was filled with joy that night, I could no longer stand
E B F#m B
I fell into her arms, crying, "Betsy, I'm that man
A E A E
I am your faithful young man, whom once you thought was slain
F#m7 E A E B E
But now, since we've met on Claudy Banks, we'll never part again"
