Loreena McKennitt - Banks Of Claudy
arr. and adapted by Loreena McKennitt
As I walked out one morning
All in the month of May
Down by a flowery garden
I carelessly did stray.
I overheard a young maid
In sorrow did complain,
All for her absent lover
Who plows the raging 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 aloing 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

[00:12.68]arr. and adapted by Loreena McKennitt
[00:17.68]
[00:22.68]As I walked out one morning
[00:27.50]All in the month of May
[00:31.31]Down by a flowery garden
[00:35.91]I carelessly did stray.
[00:40.18]I overheard a young maid
[00:45.30]In sorrow did complain,
[00:49.12]All for her absent lover
[00:54.31]Who plows the raging main.
[00:59.22]
[01:00.70]I boldly stepped up to her
[01:05.51]And put her in surprise.
[01:09.54]I know she did not know me
[01:14.11]I being in disguise.
[01:18.22]I says, "Me charming creature,
[01:23.39]My joy, my hearts delight,
[01:27.57]How far have you to travel
[01:31.72]This dark and dreary night?"
[01:37.46]
[01:38.45]"I'm in search of a faithless young man.
[01:43.66]Johnny is his name.
[01:47.54]And aloing the Banks of Claudy
[01:52.19]I'm told he does remain."
[01:57.27]
[01:58.46]"This is the Banks of Claudy
[02:03.29]Fair maid where on you stand.
[02:07.32]But don't depend on Johnny
[02:11.76]For he's a false young man.
[02:15.85]
[02:16.51]Oh don't depend on Johnny
[02:20.94]For he'll not meet you here.
[02:24.81]But tarry with me in yon green woods
[02:29.58]No danger need you fear.
[02:34.57]
[02:40.42]Oh it's six long weeks or better
[02:44.76]Since Johnny left the shore
[02:48.79]He's crossing the wild ocean
[02:53.24]Where the foam and the billows roar.
[02:57.54]He's crossing the wild ocean
[03:02.54]For honour and for fame.
[03:06.66]But this I've heard, the ship was wrecked
[03:12.81]All on the coast of Spain."
[03:19.09]
[03:32.03]Oh it's when she heard this dreadful news
[03:36.72]She flew into dispair.
[03:41.02]By the wringing of her milk white hands
[03:45.25]And the tearing of her hair.
[03:49.75]Saying "If Johnny he is drowned
[03:55.32]No man on earth I'll take,
[03:59.21]But through lonesome groves and valleys
[04:04.51]I'll wander for his sake."
[04:11.99]
[04:16.56]Oh it's when he saw her loyalty
[04:21.67]No longer could he stand
[04:25.87]He flew into her arms saying
[04:30.83]"Betsy I'm the man."
[04:34.53]Saying "Betsy I'm the young man
[04:39.49]The cause of all your pain
[04:43.47]But since we've met on Claudy Banks
[04:49.81]We'll never part again."
[04:58.78]
