| [00:22.68] |
as i walked out one morning |
| [00:27.50] |
all in the month of may |
| [00:31.31] |
down by a flowery garden |
| [00:35.91] |
i carelessly did stray. |
| [00:40.18] |
i overheard a young maid |
| [00:45.30] |
in sorrow did complain, |
| [00:49.12] |
all for her absent lover |
| [00:54.31] |
who plows the raging main. |
| [00:59.22] |
|
| [01:00.70] |
i boldly stepped up to her |
| [01:05.51] |
and put her in surprise. |
| [01:09.54] |
i know she did not know me |
| [01:14.11] |
i being in disguise. |
| [01:18.22] |
i says, "me charming creature, |
| [01:23.39] |
my joy, my hearts delight, |
| [01:27.57] |
how far have you to travel |
| [01:31.72] |
this dark and dreary night?" |
| [01:37.46] |
|
| [01:38.45] |
"im in search of a faithless young man.“ |
| [01:43.66] |
johnny is his name. |
| [01:47.54] |
and aloing the banks of claudy |
| [01:52.19] |
im told he does remain." |
| [01:57.27] |
|
| [01:58.46] |
"this is the banks of claudy“ |
| [02:03.29] |
fair maid where on you stand. |
| [02:07.32] |
but dont depend on johnny |
| [02:11.76] |
for hes a false young man. |
| [02:15.85] |
|
| [02:16.51] |
oh dont depend on johnny |
| [02:20.94] |
for hell not meet you here. |
| [02:24.81] |
but tarry with me in yon green woods |
| [02:29.58] |
no danger need you fear. |
| [02:34.57] |
|
| [02:40.42] |
oh its six long weeks or better |
| [02:44.76] |
since johnny left the shore |
| [02:48.79] |
hes crossing the wild ocean |
| [02:53.24] |
where the foam and the billows roar. |
| [02:57.54] |
hes crossing the wild ocean |
| [03:02.54] |
for honour and for fame. |
| [03:06.66] |
but this ive heard, the ship was wrecked |
| [03:12.81] |
all on the coast of spain." |
| [03:19.09] |
|
| [03:32.03] |
oh its when she heard this dreadful news |
| [03:36.72] |
she flew into dispair. |
| [03:41.02] |
by the wringing of her milk white hands |
| [03:45.25] |
and the tearing of her hair. |
| [03:49.75] |
saying "if johnny he is drowned |
| [03:55.32] |
no man on earth ill take, |
| [03:59.21] |
but through lonesome groves and valleys |
| [04:04.51] |
ill wander for his sake." |
| [04:11.99] |
|
| [04:16.56] |
oh its when he saw her loyalty |
| [04:21.67] |
no longer could he stand |
| [04:25.87] |
he flew into her arms saying |
| [04:30.83] |
"betsy im the man."“ |
| [04:34.53] |
saying "betsy im the young man |
| [04:39.49] |
the cause of all your pain |
| [04:43.47] |
but since weve met on claudy banks |
| [04:49.81] |
well never part again." |
| [04:58.78] |
