Текст песни LOREENA MCKENNITT - Banks Of Claudy
(Traditional, arranged and adapted by Loreena McKennitt)As I walked out one morningAll in the month of MayDown by a flowery gardenI carelessly did stray( )I overheard a young maidIn sorrow did complainAll for her absent loverWho ploughs the raging main.I boldly stepped up to herAnd put her in surpriseI know she did not know meI being in disguise.I says, "Me charming creatureMy joy, my heart's delight,How far have you to travelThis dark and dreary night?""I'm in search of a faithless young manJohnny is his nameAnd along the banks of ClaudyI'm told he does remain.""This is the banks of Claudy,Fair maid, where you standBut don't depend on JohnnyFor he's a false young man."Oh, don't depend on JohnnyFor he'll not meet you hereBut tarry with me in yon green woodsNo danger need you fear."Oh, it's six long weeks or betterSince Johnny left the shoreHe's crossing the wild oceanWhere the foam and the billows roar."He's crossing the wild oceanFor honour and for fameBut this I've heard, the ship was wreckedAll on the coast of Spain ."Oh it's when she heard this dreadful newsShe flew into despairBy the wringing of her milk-white handsAnd the tearing of her hair.Saying, "If Johnny he is drownedNo man on earth I'll takeBut through lonesome groves and valleysI'll wander for his sake."Oh it's when he saw her loyaltyNo longer could he standHe flew into her arms saying,"Betsy, I'm the man."Saying, "Betsy, I'm the young manThe cause of all your painBut since we've met on Claudy banksWe'll never part again."
