The Black Velvet Band (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners[00:00:01]

In a neat little town they called Belfast[00:00:03]

Apprentice to trade I was bound[00:00:10]

And many an hour sweet happiness[00:00:16]

Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:20]

As sad misfortune came over me[00:00:23]

Which caused me to stray from the land[00:00:27]

Far away from me friends and relations[00:00:33]

Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:38]

Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:00:39]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:00:43]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:00:50]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:00:52]

I took a stroll down broadway[00:00:59]

Meaning not long for to stay[00:01:04]

When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid[00:01:08]

Come a-traipsing along the highway[00:01:12]

She was both fair and handsome[00:01:16]

Her neck it was just like a swan[00:01:21]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:25]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:29]

Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:01:34]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:01:38]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:42]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:47]

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid[00:01:51]

And a gentleman passing us by[00:01:55]

Well I knew she meant the doing of him[00:01:59]

By the look in her roguish black eye[00:02:04]

A gold watch she took from his pocket[00:02:08]

And placed it right into my hand[00:02:10]

And the very first thing that I said was[00:02:17]

Bad 'cess to the black velvet band[00:02:20]

Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:02:25]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:29]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:33]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:38]

Before the judge and the jury[00:02:42]

Next morning I had to appear[00:02:46]

The judge he says to me:[00:02:51]

"Young man you're case it is proven clear[00:02:52]

We'll give you seven years penal servitude[00:02:59]

To be spent far away from the land[00:03:03]

Far away from your friends and relations[00:03:07]

Betrayed by the black velvet band"[00:03:12]

Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:03:16]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:20]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:24]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:27]

So come all you jolly young fellows[00:03:33]

A warning take by me[00:03:38]

When you are out on the town me lads[00:03:41]

Beware of the pretty cailíns[00:03:46]

They'll feed you with strong drink me lads[00:03:50]

'Till you are unable to stand[00:03:54]

And the very first thing that you'll know is[00:03:59]

You've landed in Van Diemens Land[00:04:03]

Her eyes they shown like diamonds[00:04:07]

Her neck it was just like a swan[00:04:12]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:04:15]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:04:20]
