Banks Of Claudy (Album Version) - Loreena McKennitt (罗琳娜·麦肯尼特)[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[00:00:01]
As I walked out one morning[00:00:22]
All in the month of May[00:00:27]
Down by a flower garden[00:00:31]
I carelessly did stray[00:00:35]
I overheard a young maid[00:00:40]
In sorrow did complain[00:00:44]
All for her absent lover[00:00:48]
Who plows the ranging main[00:00:53]
I boldly stepped up to her[00:01:00]
And put her in surprise[00:01:05]
I know she did not know me[00:01:09]
I being in disguise[00:01:14]
I says Me charming creature[00:01:18]
My joy my hearts delight[00:01:23]
How far have you to travel[00:01:27]
This dark and dreary night[00:01:32]
I'm in search of a faithless young man[00:01:38]
Johnny is his name[00:01:43]
And along the Banks of Claudy[00:01:47]
I'm told he does remain[00:01:52]
This is the Banks of Claudy[00:01:58]
Fair maid where on you stand[00:02:03]
But don't depend on Johnny[00:02:07]
For he's a false young man[00:02:11]
Oh don't depend on Johnny[00:02:16]
For he'll not meet you here[00:02:20]
But tarry with me in yon green woods[00:02:24]
No danger need you fear[00:02:29]
Oh it's six long weeks or better[00:02:40]
Since Johnny left the shore[00:02:44]
He's crossing the wild ocean[00:02:48]
Where the foam and the billows roar[00:02:53]
He's crossing the wild ocean[00:02:57]
For honour and for fame[00:03:02]
But this I've heard the ship was wrecked[00:03:06]
All on the coast of Spain[00:03:12]
Oh it's when she heard this dreadful news[00:03:31]
She flew into despair[00:03:36]
By the wringing of her milk white hands[00:03:40]
And the tearing of her hair[00:03:45]
Saying If Johnny he is drowned[00:03:49]
No man on earth I'll take[00:03:54]
But through lonesome groves and valleys[00:03:59]
I'll wander for his sake[00:04:04]
Oh it's when he saw her loyalty[00:04:16]
No longer could he stand[00:04:21]
He flew into her arms saying[00:04:25]
Betsy I'm the man[00:04:30]
Saying Betsy I'm the young man[00:04:34]
The 'cause of all your pain[00:04:39]
But since we've met on Claudy Banks[00:04:43]
We'll never part again[00:04:49]
