The Black Velvet Band (1997 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:01]

In a neat little town they call Belfast[00:00:05]

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

Many an hours sweet happiness[00:00:13]

Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:16]

I took a stroll down Broadway[00:00:20]

Meaning not long for to stay[00:00:24]

When who should I meet but a pretty fair maid[00:00:28]

Coming along the pathway [00:00:32]

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

I thought her the pride of the land[00:00:40]

Her hair it hung down in long tresses [00:00:43]

Tied up with the black velvet band [00:00:47]

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

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

I could see that she meant a doing of him[00:01:04]

By the look in her lovely black eyes [00:01:07]

His watch she took from his pocket[00:01:11]

And slyly placed it in my hand [00:01:15]

I was taken in charge by a copper [00:01:19]

Bad luck from the black velvet band [00:01:23]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:01:26]

I thought her the pride of the land[00:01:31]

Her hair it hung down in long tresses [00:01:34]

Tied up with the black velvet band [00:01:38]

Before the Lord Mayor I was taken [00:01:47]

"Your case Sir I plainly can see[00:01:51]

And if I'm not greatly mistaken[00:01:54]

You're bound far over the sea"[00:01:58]

It's over the dark and blue ocean[00:02:02]

Far away to Van Diemens Land[00:02:06]

Far away from my friends and relations[00:02:10]

Betrayed by the black velvet band [00:02:14]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:18]

I thought her the pride of the land[00:02:22]

Her hair it hung down in long tresses [00:02:25]

Tied up with the black velvet band[00:02:29]
