The Black Velvet Band - Ewan MacColl[00:00:00]

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

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

An many an hours sweet happiness[00:00:13]

Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:17]

A bad misfortune came over me[00:00:21]

And caused me to stray from the land[00:00:25]

Far away from my friends and relations[00:00:29]

Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:33]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:00:37]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:00:41]

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

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:00:49]

I took a stroll down Broadway[00:01:07]

Meaning not long for to stay[00:01:12]

When who should I see but this pretty fair maid[00:01:15]

Come a trapsing along the highway[00:01:19]

She was both fair and handsome[00:01:23]

Her neck it was just like a swans[00:01:27]

And hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:30]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:34]

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid[00:01:38]

And a gentleman passing us by[00:01:42]

I knew she meant the UN doing of him[00:01:46]

By the look in her roguish black eye[00:01:49]

This watch she took from his pocket[00:01:54]

And slipped it right in to my hand[00:01:57]

And the very next thing that I said was[00:02:01]

Bad luck to the black velvet band[00:02:05]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:09]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:13]

And hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:16]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:21]

Before the Judge and the Jury[00:02:39]

Next morning I had to appear[00:02:42]

The Judge he says to her[00:02:46]

Young man your case it is proven clear[00:02:49]

We'll give you seven years penal servitude[00:02:53]

To be spent faraway from the land[00:02:57]

Far away from your friends and companions[00:03:01]

Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:03:04]

So come all you jolly young fellows[00:03:08]

A loving take warning by me[00:03:12]

When you are out on the me lads[00:03:16]

Because beware of your pretty colleens[00:03:19]

That treed you do strong drink may boys[00:03:23]

'Til you are unable to stand[00:03:27]

And before you have judge to leave than by land[00:03:30]

In you by diamonds land[00:03:35]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:03:38]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:42]

And hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:46]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:49]
