The Black Velvet Band - Johnny Logan[00:00:00]

Written by：Trad[00:00:02]

In a neat little town they called Belfast[00:00:04]

Apprenticed to trade I was bound[00:00:09]

And many an hour's sweet happiness[00:00:13]

Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:18]

A sad misfortune came over me[00:00:22]

Which 'caused me to stray from the land[00:00:27]

Far away from my friends and relations[00:00:32]

Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:36]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:00:41]

I thought her the Queen of the land[00:00:45]

And her hair it hung over her shoulders[00:00:50]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:00:55]

I took a stroll down broadway[00:00:59]

Meaning not long for to stay[00:01:04]

When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid[00:01:08]

Comes a tripping along the highway[00:01:13]

She was both fair and handsome[00:01:18]

Her neck it was just like a swan[00:01:22]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:27]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:32]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:01:36]

I thought her the Queen of the land[00:01:41]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:45]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:50]

I took a stroll with this fair maid[00:01:55]

And a gentleman passing us by[00:01:59]

Well I knew that she meant the doing of him[00:02:04]

By the look in her roguish black eye[00:02:08]

A gold watch she took from his pocket[00:02:13]

And placed it right into my hand[00:02:18]

And the very first thing that I said was[00:02:22]

Bad luck to the black velvet band[00:02:27]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:32]

I thought her the Queen of the land[00:02:36]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:40]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:45]

Before the judge and the jury[00:03:09]

Next morning I had to appear[00:03:13]

And the judge[00:03:18]

He says to me young man[00:03:19]

You're case it is proven clear[00:03:22]

We'll give you seven years penal servitude[00:03:27]

To be spent far away from the land[00:03:32]

Far away from your friends and companions[00:03:36]

Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:03:41]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:03:46]

I thought her the Queen of the land[00:03:50]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:54]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:59]

So come all you jolly young fellows[00:04:04]

A warning take by me[00:04:08]

When you are out on the town me lads[00:04:13]

Beware of them pretty colleens[00:04:18]

For they will feed you with strong drink[00:04:22]

'Till you are unable to stand[00:04:27]

And the very next thing that you'll know is[00:04:31]

You've landed in Van Diemen's land[00:04:36]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:04:41]

I thought her the Queen of the land[00:04:45]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:04:50]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:04:55]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:04:59]

I thought her the Queen of the land[00:05:04]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:05:08]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:05:13]
