Blue Velvet Band - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
If you listen a story I'll tell you[00:00:06]
Of a girl who once lived in this land[00:00:11]
A girl who once was my sweetheart[00:00:16]
She was known as the Blue Velvet Band [00:00:21]
On her cheeks was the first flush of nature[00:00:26]
Her beauty it seemed to expand[00:00:31]
Her hair hung down in long tresses[00:00:36]
Tied back with a blue velvet band [00:00:41]
I can still see those tears as we parted[00:00:45]
Of my heart broken blue velvet band[00:00:50]
As I left her I told her[00:00:55]
I'll never come back to my home again [00:00:58]
Five years in the wide open spaces[00:01:05]
Was all that my poor heart could stand[00:01:09]
Every night as I lay on my pillow[00:01:14]
I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band [00:01:19]
But Then one night as I lay down dreaming[00:01:24]
Of home and poor mother and dad[00:01:29]
Like a flash by my bedside was standing[00:01:34]
The form of my Blue Velvet Band [00:01:38]
I started next day for my darling[00:01:43]
To go back and make her my bride[00:01:48]
But as I reached the old country depot[00:01:53]
They told me my sweetheart had died [00:01:58]
They laid her to rest in the churchyard[00:02:03]
Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land[00:02:07]
On her finger was the ring I had bought her[00:02:12]
On her head was a blue velvet band[00:02:17]
