Black Velvet Band - Damien Leith[00:00:00]
In a neat little town they call Belfast[00:00:06]
Apprentice to trade I was bound[00:00:10]
Hey many an hours sweet happiness[00:00:13]
I spent in that neat little town[00:00:18]
A sad misfortune came over me[00:00:22]
Which cause me to stray from the land[00:00:26]
Far away from my friends and relations[00:00:29]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:34]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:00:38]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:00:42]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:00:45]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:00:50]
I took a stroll down Broadway[00:00:54]
Meaning not long for to stay[00:00:58]
When who should I meet but this pretty fair[00:01:02]
Maid comes a trapsing along the highway[00:01:05]
She was both fair and handsome[00:01:09]
Her neck it was just like a swan[00:01:14]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:17]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:22]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:01:26]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:01:30]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:33]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:38]
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid[00:01:42]
And a gentleman passing us by[00:01:46]
I knew that she meant the doing of him[00:01:49]
By the look in her roguish black eye[00:01:53]
A goldwatch she took from his pocket[00:01:58]
And placed it right in to my hand[00:02:02]
And the very first thing that I said[00:02:05]
Was bad cess to the black velvet band[00:02:09]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:14]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:18]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:21]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:26]
Before the judge and the jury[00:02:46]
Next morning I had to appear[00:02:50]
And the judge he says to me[00:02:53]
Young man your case it is proven and clear[00:02:57]
We'll give you seven years penal servitude[00:03:02]
To be spent faraway from the land[00:03:06]
Far away from your friends and come panies[00:03:09]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:03:14]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:03:17]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:22]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:25]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:30]
So come all you jolly young[00:03:33]
Fellows a warning take by me[00:03:36]
When never you are out on the town me lads[00:03:41]
Beware of them pretty colleens[00:03:46]
For they feed you follow strong drink yeah[00:03:49]
Till you are unable to stand[00:03:54]
And the very next thing that you'll know is[00:03:57]
You've landed in Van Diemens Land[00:04:02]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:04:06]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:04:10]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:04:13]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:04:18]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:04:22]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:04:26]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:04:29]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:04:34]
