[Verse]
Eb Cm7
Twas on one summer's evening, all in the month of May
A# F Cm F
Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did stray
Eb A#
I overheard a young maid, in sorrow to complain
Cm7 A# Eb A# F A#
All for her handsome sailor boy, who ploughed the raging Main
[Verse]
Eb Cm7
I boldly stepped up to her and put her in such surprise
A# F Cm F
I'll vow she did not know me, I being all in disguise
Eb A#
Says, "I'm a charming creature, my joy and heart's delight
Cm7 A# Eb A# F A#
How far have you to travel this queer and stormy night?"
[Verse]
Eb Cm7
"My way, kind sir, to the Claudy Banks, if you will please to show
A# F Cm F
Pity a poor girl distracted, for there I have to go
Eb A#
I am in search of a young man and Johnny is his name
Cm7 A# Eb A# F A#
Along the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain"
[Verse]
Eb Cm7
"'Tis six long months and better, since your true love left the shore
A# F Cm F
In passing the wide ocean, where French's cannons roar
Eb A#
In crossing the wide ocean, with honour and for gain
Cm7 A# Eb A# F A#
I'm told his ship was wrecked, all on the coast of Spain"

F Dm7
Now, on hearing of this dreadful news, she fell into despair
C G Dm G
With a wringing of her hands and a tearing of her hair
F C F C
"Oh, since he's gone and left me, no other man I'll take
Dm7 C F C G C
Oh, on the banks of Claudy, I'll wander for his sake"
[Verse]
F Dm7
Now, my heart was filled with joy that night, I could no longer stand
C G Dm G
I fell into her arms, crying, "Betsy, I'm that man
F C F C
I am your faithful young man, whom once you thought was slain
Dm7 C F C G C
But now, since we've met on Claudy Banks, we'll never part again"
