Текст, перевод и аккорды “Banks Of Claudy”
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 ploughs 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 heart's 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 along the banks of Claudy I'm told he does remain." "This is the banks of Claudy, Fair maid, where 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. "Oh, it's six long weeks or better Since Johnny left the shore He's crossing the wild ocean Where the foam and the billows roar. "He's crossing the wild ocean For honour and for fame But this I've heard, the ship was wrecked All on the coast of Spain ." Oh it's when she heard this dreadful news She flew into despair By the wringing of her milk-white hands And the tearing of her hair. Saying, "If Johnny he is drowned No man on earth I'll take But through lonesome groves and valleys I'll wander for his sake." Oh it's when he saw her loyalty No longer could he stand He flew into her arms saying, "Betsy, I'm the man." 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."
