Verse 1
G
D
C
It was on a summer's morning,
D
G
All in the month of May,
C
G
C
Down by the banks of Clawdee,
G
C
D
I carelessly did stray.
G
C
G
C
I overheard a fair maid,
G
C
In sorrow did complain,
D
G
D
All about her absent lover,
C
D
G
who ploughed the raging main
D
G
D
I stepped up unto her,
C
D
G
and gave her a big surprise
C
G
C
I hoped she wouldn't know me,
G
I'd been in such disguise
D
G
C
G
C
I said, my pretty fair maid,
G
my joy on earth's delight,
D
G
D
How far d 'you mean to wander
C
D
this dark and dreary night?
G
D
G
D
C
It's to the banks of Clawdee,
D
G
if you'll be kind to show
C
G
C
Take pity on a fair maid
G
D
who knows not where to go
G
C
G
C
I'm searching for a young man,
G
D
and Johnny is his name
G
D
C
And on the banks of Clodagh,
D
G
I'm told he does remain
D
G
D
These are the banks of Clodagh
C
D
G
They're made your standing hard
C
G
But don't depend on Johnny
C
G
D
For he's a false young man
G
C
G
But don't depend on Johnny
C
G
D
For he'll not meet you here
G
D
C
But tarry with me by yon green woods
D
G
No danger need you fear
D
G
D
C
If Johnny he was here this night
D
G
He'd keep me from all harm
C
G
C
G
He's in the field of battle,
C
G
all in his uniform
D
G
C
G
C
He's in the field of battle,
G
D
and his foes he does destroy
G
D
C
Like the loyal King of Honour,
D
G
All on the wars of Troy
D
G
D
It's six long weeks of battle,
C
D
G
Since Johnny left this shore
C
G
C
Acrossing the wide ocean,
G
D
where foaming billows roll
G
C
G
C
Acrossing the wide ocean,
G
D
for honour and for fame
G
D
But I'm told his ship got wrecked,
C
D
G
high to the coast of Spain
D
C
Now when she heard this dreadful news,
D
G
she flew in deep despair
C
G
A ringing of her hands
C
G
D
and a tearing of her hair
G
C
G
Saying, if my Johnny's drownded,
C
G
D
no man alive I'll take
G
D
Through moats and shades and valleys,
C
D
G
I'll wander for his sake
D
G
D
Now when he saw her loyalty,
C
D
G
he could no longer stand
C
G
C
He flew into her arms, crying,
G
D
Betsy, I'm your man
G
C
G
C
Crying, Betsy, I'm the young man,
G
D
the cause of all your pain
G
Now since we've met on
D
C
Claudibank
D
G
D
G
D
C
D
G
C
We'll never part again
G
C
D

D
G
D
C
D
G
Thank for watching!
