[Verse 1]
'Twas late one summer's evening I wandered from my home.
Down by a flowery garden, I carelessly did roam
I overheard a damsel in sorrow she complained
All for her absent lover, that ploughs the raging Main
[Verse 2]
I quickly then stepped up to her and took her by surprise
I swear she did not know me, I being all in disguise
Says I, “My fairest creature, my joy and heart's delight
How far have you to travel this dark and dreary night?”

[Verse 3]
“Just to the banks of Claudy, if you'll be pleased to show
Pity a lady stranded, it's there I have to go
For I'm in search of a young man and Johnny is his name
And by the banks of Claudy, I'm told he does remain”
[Verse 4]
"These are the Banks of Claudy, fair maid whereon you stand
But do not depend on Johnny, for he's a false young man
Do not depend on Johnny, he will not meet you here
Go tary with me to the green woods, no dangers need you fear"
[Solo]

[Verse 5]
"If Johnny he were here tonight my dear, he'd shield you from all harm
But he's in the land of battle, all dressed in uniform
He strives in the field of battle, his foes to destroy
Like the Grecian kings of honour that fought on the wars of Troy"
[Verse 6]
"'Tis six long weeks or better since Johnny left this shore
He's sailed the great white ocean where the raging billows roar
He's sailed the great white ocean for honour and for fame
And I'm told his ship was wrecked and lost upon the coast of Spain"
[Verse 7]
Oh, when she heard this dreadful news, she fell in deep despair
A-wringing of her milk-white hands and a-tearing of her hair
"If my love is gone, there's no one on earth I'll take
D G Em G C G
Through lonesome woods and valleys, I'll wander for his sake"
[Solo]
[Verse 8]
When he saw her loyalty, he could no longer stand
He flew into her arms, saying, "Patsy I'm the lad"
Saying Patsy, I'm the young man the cause of all your pain
Now since we met on Claudy Banks we'll ne'er shall part again"
