[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."
