The banks of Claudy

The Banks of Claudy It was on a summer's morning all in the month of May Down by yon flowery gardens I carelessly did stray I overheard a fair maid in sorrow to complain All for her absent lover who plowed the raging main I boldly stepped up to her and gave to her a surprise I know she did not know me, for I being in disguise I said, "My charming creature, my heart and joy's delight How far do you mean to wander this dark and dreary night?" "Kind sir, the way to Claudy, if you will please do show Oh take pity on the fair maid that knows not where to go I'm on the search of a faithless young man, Johnny is his name And along the Banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain" "This is the Banks of Claudy, fair maid, where on you stand Oh but don't depend on Johnny for he's a false young man Oh don't depend on Johnny, for he'll not meet you here But tarry with me in yon green wood, no danger need you fear" It's six long weeks and better since Johnny left the shore He's crossing the wild ocean where the foam and billows roar He's crossing the wide ocean for honor and for fame But this I heard, the ship was wrecked on the fatal coast of Spain" Oh it's when she heard the dreadful news, she flew into despair With the wringing of her hands and the tearing of her hair Saying, "If Johnny, he is drowned, no man on earth I'll take But through lonesome groves and valleys I'll wander for his sake Oh it's when he saw her loyalty, no longer could he stand He flew into her arms saying, "Betsy, I'm the man" Saying, "Betsy, I'm the young man, the cause of all your pain
