<pre><font size='+2'>BANKS OF CLAUDY lyrics LOREENA MCKENNITT</font><br>Trad. arr. by Loreena McKennitt<br />
 <br />
 As I walked out one morning<br />
 All in the month of May<br />
 Down by a flower garden<br />
 I carelessly did stray<br />
 <br />
 I overheard a young maid<br />
 In sorrow did complain,<br />
 All for her absent lover<br />
 Who plows the ranging main.<br />
 <br />
 I boldly stepped up to her<br />
 And put her in surprise.<br />
 I know she did not know me<br />
 I being in disguise.<br />
 <br />
 I says, `Me charming creature,<br />
 My joy, my hearts delight,<br />
 How far have you to travel<br />
 This dark and dreary night?`<br />
 <br />
 `I`m in search of a faithless young man.<br />
 Johnny is his name.<br />
 And along the Banks of Claudy<br />
 I`m told he does remain.`<br />
 <br />
 `This is the Banks of Claudy<br />
 Fair maid where on you stand.<br />
 But don`t depend on Johnny<br />
 For he`s a false young man.<br />
 <br />
 Oh don`t depend on Johnny<br />
 For he`ll not meet you here.<br />
 But tarry with me in yon green woods<br />
 No danger need you fear.<br />
 <br />
 Oh it`s six long weeks or better<br />
 Since Johnny left the shore<br />
 He`s crossing the wild ocean<br />
 Where the foam and the billows roar.<br />
 <br />
 He`s crossing the wild ocean<br />
 For honour and for fame.<br />
 But ths I`ve heard, the ship was wrecked<br />
 All on the coast of Spain.`<br />
 <br />
 Oh it`s when she heard this dreadful news<br />
 She flew into despair.<br />
 By the wringing of her milk white hands<br />
 And the tearing of her hair.<br />
 <br />
 Saying `If Johnny he is drowned<br />
 No man on earth I`ll take,<br />
 But through lonesome groves and valleys<br />
 I`ll wander for his sake.`<br />
 <br />
 Oh it`s when he saw her loyalty<br />
 No longer could he stand<br />
 He flew into her arms saying<br />
 `Betsy I`m the man.`<br />
 <br />
 `Saying Betsy I`m the young man<br />
 The cause of all your pain<br />
 But since we`ve met on Claudy Banks<br />
 We`ll never part again.`<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/banks_of_claudy_lyrics-loreena_mckennitt.html" target='_blank'>BANKS OF CLAUDY lyrics LOREENA MCKENNITT</a></pre>

Trad. arr. by Loreena McKennitt

As I walked out one morning
All in the month of May
Down by a flower garden
I carelessly did stray

I overheard a young maid
In sorrow did complain,
All for her absent lover
Who plows the ranging main.

I boldly stepped up to her
And put her in surprise.
I know she did not know me
I being in disguise.

I says, `Me charming creature,
My joy, my hearts delight,
How far have you to travel
This dark and dreary night?`

`I`m in 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.
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 woods
No danger need you fear.

Oh it`s six long weeks or better
Since Johnny left the shore
He`s crossing the wild ocean
Where the foam and the billows roar.

He`s crossing the wild ocean
For honour and for fame.
But ths I`ve heard, the ship was wrecked
All on the coast of Spain.`

Oh it`s when she heard this dreadful news
She flew into despair.
By the wringing of her milk white 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
But since we`ve met on Claudy Banks
We`ll never part again.`
