《Banks Of Claudy》歌词

[00:00:00] as i walked out one morning

[00:00:27] all in the month of may

[00:00:31] down by a flowery garden

[00:00:35] i carelessly did stray.

[00:00:40] i overheard a young maid

[00:00:44] in sorrow did complain,

[00:00:48] all for her absent lover

[00:00:53] who plows the raging main.

[00:01:00] i boldly stepped up to her

[00:01:05] and put her in surprise.

[00:01:09] i know she did not know me

[00:01:13] i being in disguise.

[00:01:16] i says, "me charming creature,

[00:01:22] my joy, my hearts delight,

[00:01:27] how far have you to travel

[00:01:32] this dark and dreary night?"

[00:01:34] "im in search of a faithless young man.

[00:01:42] johnny is his name.

[00:01:47] and aloing the banks of claudy

[00:01:51] im told he does remain."

[00:01:58] "this is the banks of claudy

[00:02:02] fair maid where on you stand.

[00:02:06] but dont depend on johnny

[00:02:10] for hes a false young man.

[00:02:14] oh dont depend on johnny

[00:02:20] for hell not meet you here.

[00:02:24] but tarry with me in yon green woods

[00:02:29] no danger need you fear.

[00:02:40] oh its six long weeks or better

[00:02:44] since johnny left the shore

[00:02:48] hes crossing the wild ocean

[00:02:52] where the foam and the billows roar.

[00:02:57] hes crossing the wild ocean

[00:03:02] for honour and for fame.

[00:03:06] but this ive heard, the ship was wrecked

[00:03:11] all on the coast of spain."

[00:03:32] oh its when she heard this dreadful news

[00:03:36] she flew into dispair.

[00:03:40] by the wringing of her milk white hands

[00:03:45] and the tearing of her hair.

[00:03:48] saying "if johnny he is drowned

[00:03:54] no man on earth ill take,

[00:03:59] but through lonesome groves and valleys

[00:04:04] ill wander for his sake."

[00:04:20] oh its when he saw her loyalty

[00:04:23] no longer could he stand

[00:04:26] he flew into her arms saying

[00:04:30] "betsy im the man."

[00:04:34] saying "betsy im the young man

[00:04:38] the cause of all your pain

[00:04:43] but since weve met on claudy banks

[00:04:48] well never part again."
