Black Velvet Band Lyrics
[00:06.92] In a neat little town they call Belfast
[00:10.16] Apprentice to trade I was bound
[00:12.90] And many an hour sweet happiness
[00:17.69] I spent in that neat little town
[00:20.45] Till a sad misfortune came over me
[00:24.38] Which caused me to stray from this land
[00:27.79] Far away from me friends and relations
[00:31.65] Betrayed by the black velvet band
[00:31.84] I took a stroll with that pretty fair maid
[00:39.14] When a gentleman passes me by
[00:49.24] I knew that she had the doing in him
[00:52.14] By that look in her rovish black eye
[00:52.48] A gold watch she took from his pocket
[00:54.04] And placed it right into my hand
[00:56.41] The very next thing I said was
[01:02.17] Bad luck to the black velvet band
[01:03.72] Her eyes they shown like diamonds
[01:14.02] I thought her the queen of the land
[01:16.84] And her hair hung over her shoulder
[01:18.16] Tied up with a black velvet band
[01:19.37] Before the judge and the jury
[01:25.99] Next morning I had to appear
[01:28.98] The judge he said to me
[01:31.72] Young lad, your case it is proven clear
[01:36.22] We'll go seven years penal servitude
[01:39.18] And take you away from this land
[01:42.78] Far away from me friends and relations
[01:50.90] Betrayed by the black velvet band
[02:01.00] Her eyes they shown like diamonds
[02:10.17] I thought her the queen of the land
[02:14.14] And her hair hung over her shoulder
[02:14.96] Tied up with a black velvet band
[02:15.72] So come all ye jolly young fellas
[02:16.66] Who warning, take by me
[02:17.15] When you are out in the town, me lads
[02:22.38] Be aware of them pretty colleens
[02:23.57] For they'll feed you with strong drink me lads
[02:27.26] Till you are unable to stand
[02:32.47] And the very next thing you know is that
[02:34.46] You've landed in Van Diemen's land
[02:37.52] Her eyes they shown like diamonds
[02:43.21] I thought her the queen of the land
[02:44.65] And her hair hung over her shoulder
[02:52.24] Tied up with a black velvet band
[02:58.48] Her eyes they shown like diamonds
[02:59.85] I thought her the queen of the land
[03:01.59] And her hair hung over her shoulder
[03:03.42] Tied up with a black velvet band
