Banks Of Claudy (Album Version) - Loreena McKennitt (罗琳娜·麦肯尼特)
Written by：Traditional
As I walked out one morning
All in the month of May
Down by a flower garden
I carelessly did stray
I overheard a young maid
In sorrow did complain
All for her absent lover
Who plows the ranging 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 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
And along the Banks of Claudy
I'm told he does remain
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
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
