歌曲歌詞
Twas on one summer’s evening
All in the month of May
Down by a flowery garden
Where Betsy did stray
I overheard a damsel
In sorrow to complain
All for her absent lover
That ploughs the raging main
I stepped up to this fair maid
And put her in surprise
She owned she did not know me
I being all in disguise
I said My charming creature
My joy and heart’s delight
How far have you to travel
This dark and rainy night
Away kind sir to the Claudy banks
If you will please to show
Pity a poor girl distracted
For there I have to go
I am in search of a young man
And Johnny is his name
And on the banks of Claudy
I’m told he does remain
If Johnny he was here this night
He would keep me from all harm
He’s a-cruising the wide ocean
Where the foaming billows roar
He’s a-cruising the wide ocean
For honour or for gain
But I’m told his ship got wreck-ed
All on the coast of Spain
When Betsy heard this dreadful news
She fell into despair
In a-wringing of her hands
And a-tearing of her hair
Since Johnny has gone
And left me no man on earth I’ll take
Down in some lonesome valley
I’ll wander for his sake
Young Johnny hearing her say
So he could no longer stand
He fell into her arms crying Betsy
I’m that man
I am that faithful young man
And whom you thought was slain
And since we met on Claudy banks
We’ll never part again
