[Verse]
F Dm7
Twas on one summer's evening, all in the month of May
C G Dm G
Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did stray
F C
I overheard a young maid, in sorrow to complain
Dm7 C F C G C
All for her handsome sailor boy, who ploughed the raging Main
[Verse]
F Dm7
I boldly stepped up to her and put her in such surprise
C G Dm G
I'll vow she did not know me, I being all in disguise
F C
Says, "I'm a charming creature, my joy and heart's delight
Dm7 C F C G C
How far have you to travel this queer and stormy night?"
[Verse]
F Dm7
"My way, kind sir, to the Claudy Banks, if you will please to show
C G Dm G
Pity a poor girl distracted, for there I have to go
F C
I am in search of a young man and Johnny is his name
Dm7 C F C G C
Along the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain"
[Verse]
F Dm7
"'Tis six long months and better, since your true love left the shore
C G Dm G
In passing the wide ocean, where French's cannons roar
F C
In crossing the wide ocean, with honour and for gain
Dm7 C F C G C
I'm told his ship was wrecked, all on the coast of Spain"

G Em7
Now, on hearing of this dreadful news, she fell into despair
D A Em A
With a wringing of her hands and a tearing of her hair
G D G D
"Oh, since he's gone and left me, no other man I'll take
Em7 D G D A D
Oh, on the banks of Claudy, I'll wander for his sake"
[Verse]
G Em7
Now, my heart was filled with joy that night, I could no longer stand
D A Em A
I fell into her arms, crying, "Betsy, I'm that man
G D G D
I am your faithful young man, whom once you thought was slain
Em7 D G D A D
But now, since we've met on Claudy Banks, we'll never part again"
