The Black Velvet Band - The Dubliners[00:00:00]
Well in a neat little town they called Belfast[00:00:01]
Apprenticed to trade I was bound[00:00:05]
Many an hour's sweet happiness[00:00:10]
Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:13]
A sad misfortune came over me[00:00:17]
Which caused me to stray from the land[00:00:21]
Far away from my friends and relations[00:00:25]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:28]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:00:32]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:00:36]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:00:40]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:00:44]
I took a stroll down broadway[00:00:48]
Meaning not long for to stay[00:00:52]
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid[00:00:56]
Come a tripping along the highway[00:01:00]
She was both fair and handsome[00:01:04]
Her neck it was just like a swan[00:01:08]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:11]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:15]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:01:19]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:01:23]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:27]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:31]
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid[00:01:35]
And a gentleman passing us by[00:01:39]
Well I knew she meant the doing of him[00:01:43]
By the look in her roguish black eye[00:01:46]
A gold watch she took from his pocket[00:01:51]
And placed it right into my hand[00:01:54]
And the very first thing that I said was[00:01:58]
Bad 'cess to the black velvet band[00:02:02]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:06]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:10]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:14]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:18]
Before the judge and the jury[00:02:22]
Next morning I had to appear[00:02:26]
The judge he says to me[00:02:30]
Young man you're case it is proven clear[00:02:33]
We'll give you seven years penal servitude[00:02:38]
To be spent far away from the land[00:02:42]
Far away from your friends and companions[00:02:46]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:02:50]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:53]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:58]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:01]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:06]
