Titel the New Blue Velvet Band - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
Let me tell you a sad but true story[00:00:06]
Let it be an example to man[00:00:12]
How I tore down the world of my sweetheart[00:00:17]
She was known as The Blue Velvet Band[00:00:23]
On her cheeks were the first splash of nature[00:00:29]
Her beauty it seemed to expand[00:00:35]
Her golden hair hung in tresses[00:00:40]
Tied back with a blue velvet band[00:00:46]
But I boarded a tanker for Holland[00:00:52]
And accused her for loving some man[00:00:58]
Still down in my heart she kept callin'[00:01:03]
Come back to your Blue Velvet Band[00:01:09]
As the sea-gull flew high up above me[00:01:15]
In the path of the still red moonlight[00:01:21]
I saw your face and awaked dear[00:01:26]
Out here on the ocean tonight[00:01:32]
I was called to the bridge by our captain[00:01:50]
His hand held a paper of white[00:01:56]
This message just flashed o'er the wireless[00:02:01]
And your darlin' is dying tonight[00:02:07]
So I boarded a freighter in Cuba[00:02:13]
To speed me back to her side[00:02:18]
But the bell in the old country steeple[00:02:24]
Soon told me my sweetheart had died[00:02:30]
Heartbroken I knelt down and kissed her[00:02:35]
The last time to hold her sweet hand[00:02:41]
There still for the ring I had bought her[00:02:47]
On her head was a blue velvet band[00:02:52]
