    Verse 1
    'Twas 
    on 
    one 

    summer's 
    evening 
    all 
    in 
    the month 
    of 
    May 

    Down 
    by 
    a 
    flowery 
    garden 

    I 
    care
    lessly 
    did 
    stray 

    I 
    overheard 
    a 
    young 
    maid 
    in 

    sorrow 
    to 
    com
    plain 

    All 
    for 
    her 
    handsome 
    sailor 
    boy 

    who 
    ploughed 
    the 
    ra
    ging 
    main 

    Verse 2
    I 
    boldly 
    stepped 
    up 
    to 
    her 
    and 

    put 
    her 
    in 
    sur
    prise 

    I'll 
    vow 
    she 
    did 
    not 
    know 
    me, 

    I 
    being 
    all 
    in 
    dis
    guise 

    Says, 
    I'm 
    a charming 
    creature, 

    my 
    joy 
    and 
    heart's 
    de
    light 

    How 
    far 
    have 
    you 
    to 
    travel 

    this 
    dark 
    and 
    stormy 
    night? 

    Verse 3
    Away 
    kind 
    sir, 
    to 
    the Claudy Banks 

    if 
    you 
    will 
    please 
    to 
    show 

    Pity 
    her 
    poor 
    girl 
    distracted, 

    oh, 
    there 
    I 
    have 
    to 
    go 

    I 
    am 
    in 
    search 
    of 
    a young 
    man 

    and 
    Johnny 
    is 
    his 
    name 

    Along 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    Claudy, I'm 

    told 
    he 
    does 
    re
    main 

    Verse 4
    'Tis 
    six 
    long 
    moths on 
    batter, 

    since 
    your 
    true 
    love 
    left 
    the 
    shore 

    In 
    passing 
    the 
    wide 
    ocean 

    where 
    French's 
    cannons 
    roar 

    And 
    crossing 
    the 
    wide 
    ocean 

    with 
    honor 
    and 
    for 
    gain 

    I'm 
    told his 
    ship 
    was 
    wrecked 
    all on 
    the 
    coast 
    of 
    Spain 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    On 
    hearing 
    of 
    this 
    dreadful 
    news, 

    it 
    put her 
    in 
    des
    pair 

    With 
    a 
    wringing 
    of 
    her 
    hands 

    and 
    a tearing 
    of 
    her 
    hair 

    Oh, 
    since 
    he's 
    gone 
    and 
    left 
    me, 

    no 
    other 
    man 
    I'll 
    take 

    Oh, 
    on 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    Claudy I'll 

    wander 
    for 
    his 
    sake 

    Verse 6
    Oh, 
    my 
    heart 
    was 
    filled 
    with 
    joy 
    that 
    night, 

    I 
    could 
    no 
    longer 
    stand 

    I 
    fell 
    into 
    her 
    arms, 
    crying, 

    "Betsy, 
    I'm 
    that 
    man 

    I 
    am 
    your 
    faithful 
    young 
    man, whom 

    once 
    you 
    thought 
    was slain 

    Now, 
    since 
    we've 
    met 
    on 
    Claudy Banks, 
    we'll 
    never 
    part 
    again"

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
