I don&#8217;t know what he was trying to prove, but it all ended up satisfactory, anyway. The Banks of Claudy:<\/p>\n<p>It being on a fine summer&#8217;s morning all in the month of May<br \/>\ndown by yon flowery garden where Betsy she did stray<br \/>\nI overheard a fair maid in sorrow to complain<br \/>\n&#8216;Twas all for her true lover who ploughed the raging main.<\/p>\n<p>I went up to this fair maid, I took her by surprise<br \/>\nI own she did not know me, for I was in disguise<br \/>\nI said, &#8216;My pretty fair maid, my joy and heart&#8217;s delight,<br \/>\nHow far have you to travel this dark and dreary night?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Kind sir, the way to Claudy Banks, if you would please to show,<br \/>\nAnd pity a maid in distraction, for I&#8217;ve so far to go.<br \/>\nI am in search of a young man, and Johnny is his name,<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s on the Banks of Claudy I&#8217;m told he does remain.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is the Banks of Claudy, the very place you stand;<br \/>\nBut don&#8217;t depend on Johnny, for he&#8217;s a false young man;<br \/>\nOh, don&#8217;t depend on Johnny, for he&#8217;ll not meet you here &#8211;<br \/>\nBut come with me to yon green hills, no danger need you fear.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If Johnny dear was here tonight, he&#8217;d keep me from all harm.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s in the fields of battle, all in his uniform,<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s in the fields of battle, his foes he does defy<br \/>\nLike the roaring king of honour who went through the wars of Troy.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s six long months and better since Johnny left the shore,<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s crossing the wide ocean where foaming billows roar;<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s crossing the wide ocean for honour and for fame,<br \/>\nAnd I am told the ship was wrecked all off the coast of Spain.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>When she heard this dreadful news, she fell in deep despair<br \/>\nWith the wringing of her hands and the tearing of her hair;<br \/>\n&#8216;Since Johnny he has left me, no other will I take,<br \/>\nBut the lonesome groves and valleys I&#8217;ll wander for his sake.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>When he heard her loyalty he could no longer stand<br \/>\nHe fell into her arms, saying, &#8216;Betsy, I&#8217;m the man!<br \/>\nI am this faithless young man, the cause of all your pain,<br \/>\nBut since we met on Claudy Banks we&#8217;ll never part again.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>This song appears, to a different air, in O Lochlainn Irish Street Ballads (1939), 116.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1372,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485\/revisions\/1372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
