Loreena Mckennitt - Banks Of Claudy
As I Walked Out One Morning
Down By A Flowery Garden
All In The Month Of May
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 Says, "me Charming Creature,
I Being In Disguise.
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.
I'm Told Be Does Remain."
And Along The Banks Of Claudy
"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
He's Crossing The Wild Ocean
Since Johnny Left The Shore
Oh It's Six Long Weeks Or Better
Where The Foam And The Billows Roar
For Honour And For Fame.
He's Crossing The Wild Ocean
But This I've Beard, The Ship Was Wrecked
All On The Coast Of Spain."
She Flew Into Despair
Oh It's When She Heard This Dreadful News
By The Wringing Of Her Milk White Hands
And The Tearing Of Her Hair.
Saying "if Johnny He Is Drowned
But Through Lonesome Groves And Valleys
No Man On Earth I'll Take,
I'll Wander For His Sake."
"betsy I'm The Man."
Oh It's When He Saw Her Loyalty
No Longer Could He Stand
He Flew Into Her Arms Saying
"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."
