[Verse]
D Bm7
Twas on one summer's evening, all in the month of May
A E Bm E
Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did stray
D A
I overheard a young maid, in sorrow to complain
Bm7 A D A E A
All for her handsome sailor boy, who ploughed the raging Main
[Verse]
D Bm7
I boldly stepped up to her and put her in such surprise
A E Bm E
I'll vow she did not know me, I being all in disguise
D A
Says, "I'm a charming creature, my joy and heart's delight
Bm7 A D A E A
How far have you to travel this queer and stormy night?"
[Verse]
D Bm7
"My way, kind sir, to the Claudy Banks, if you will please to show
A E Bm E
Pity a poor girl distracted, for there I have to go
D A
I am in search of a young man and Johnny is his name
Bm7 A D A E A
Along the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain"
[Verse]
D Bm7
"'Tis six long months and better, since your true love left the shore
A E Bm E
In passing the wide ocean, where French's cannons roar
D A
In crossing the wide ocean, with honour and for gain
Bm7 A D A E A
I'm told his ship was wrecked, all on the coast of Spain"

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