The Claudy Banks - The Copper Family[00:00:00]

Twas on one summer's evening[00:00:00]

All in the month of May[00:00:04]

Down by a flowery garden[00:00:08]

Where Betsy did stray [00:00:11]

I overheard a damsel[00:00:16]

In sorrow to complain [00:00:19]

All for her absent lover[00:00:23]

That ploughs the raging main [00:00:27]

I stepped up to this fair maid[00:00:32]

And put her in surprise [00:00:36]

She owned she did not know me [00:00:39]

I being all in disguise [00:00:43]

I said My charming creature [00:00:47]

My joy and heart's delight [00:00:50]

How far have you to travel[00:00:54]

This dark and rainy night [00:00:57]

Away kind sir to the Claudy banks[00:01:02]

If you will please to show [00:01:06]

Pity a poor girl distracted[00:01:10]

For there I have to go [00:01:13]

I am in search of a young man[00:01:18]

And Johnny is his name [00:01:21]

And on the banks of Claudy[00:01:25]

I'm told he does remain [00:01:28]

If Johnny he was here this night[00:01:34]

He would keep me from all harm[00:01:38]

He's a-cruising the wide ocean[00:01:41]

Where the foaming billows roar [00:01:45]

He's a-cruising the wide ocean[00:01:49]

For honour or for gain [00:01:53]

But I'm told his ship got wreck-ed[00:01:56]

All on the coast of Spain [00:02:00]

When Betsy heard this dreadful news[00:02:06]

She fell into despair [00:02:09]

In a-wringing of her hands[00:02:12]

And a-tearing of her hair [00:02:16]

Since Johnny has gone[00:02:21]

And left me no man on earth I'll take [00:02:23]

Down in some lonesome valley[00:02:27]

I'll wander for his sake [00:02:31]

Young Johnny hearing her say[00:02:37]

So he could no longer stand [00:02:40]

He fell into her arms crying Betsy [00:02:44]

I'm that man [00:02:49]

I am that faithful young man[00:02:52]

And whom you thought was slain [00:02:56]

And since we met on Claudy banks[00:02:59]

We'll never part again[00:03:03]
