The Black Velvet Band - The Dubliners[00:00:00]
In a neat little town they called Belfast[00:00:07]
Apprentice to trade I was bound[00:00:11]
And many an hour sweet happiness[00:00:15]
Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:19]
As sad misfortune came over me[00:00:23]
Which caused me to stray from the land[00:00:26]
Far away from me friends and relations[00:00:30]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:34]
Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:00:38]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:00:42]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:00:46]
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[00:01:01]
I meet but this pretty fair maid[00:01:03]
Come a-traipsing along the highway[00:01:06]
She was both fair and handsome[00:01:09]
Her neck it was just like a swan[00:01:13]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:17]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:21]
Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:01:25]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:01:29]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:32]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:36]
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid[00:01:41]
And a gentleman passing us by[00:01:44]
Well I knew she meant the doing of him[00:01:48]
By the look in her roguish black eye[00:01:52]
A gold watch she took from his pocket[00:01:56]
And placed it right into my hand[00:02:00]
And the very first thing that I said was[00:02:04]
Bad cess to the black velvet band[00:02:08]
Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:02:12]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:15]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:19]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:23]
Before the judge and the jury[00:02:27]
Next morning I had to appear[00:02:31]
The judge he says to me[00:02:35]
Young man you're case it is proven clear[00:02:38]
We'll give you seven years penal servitude[00:02:43]
To be spent far away from the land[00:02:47]
Far away from your friends and relations[00:02:51]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:02:55]
Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:02:59]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:03]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:06]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:11]
