《The Claudy Banks(Bob & Jim)》歌词

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

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

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

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

[00:00:11] Where Betsy did stray

[00:00:16] I overheard a damsel

[00:00:19] In sorrow to complain

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:09] She fell into despair

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

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

[00:02:21] Since Johnny has gone

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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