Answer To Blue Velvet Band - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
Written by:Snow[00:00:00]
Well howdy boys howdy[00:00:00]
Man man it sure seems like a long time[00:00:01]
Since I last rode down this old trail[00:00:04]
How ya all anyhow[00:00:06]
Fellas you see[00:00:07]
I still have this old cigar box with me[00:00:08]
Yes sir[00:00:10]
And better yet[00:00:11]
All the boys out here[00:00:11]
At the are K ranch are singing[00:00:12]
A new song now[00:00:14]
Hope you like it because[00:00:15]
It's my answer to the blue velvet band[00:00:16]
It goes like this[00:00:17]
By and old willow tree in the churchyard[00:00:24]
On the banks of the old Rio grande[00:00:32]
Lies a loved one who died broken hearted[00:00:39]
She was known as the blue velvet band[00:00:46]
She was called by the angels up yonder[00:00:54]
As the dew kissed the pale summer rose[00:01:01]
As we stood there in silence dishearted[00:01:08]
These words to her lover did go[00:01:16]
Dear Jack you mistrusted your darling[00:01:23]
You said that my love wasn't true[00:01:30]
You've roamed over the wide open spaces[00:01:38]
But my thoughts they were always of you[00:01:44]
Now my last wish was once more to see you[00:01:52]
But they say you're in some foreign land[00:01:59]
You're forgiveness is in this last message[00:02:06]
From your heartbroken blue velvet band[00:02:13]
Far away over the lone western prairie[00:02:20]
Her message sped fast over the way[00:02:28]
To the side of a bed where her cowboy[00:02:35]
Was grieving his life fast away[00:02:42]
Please grant a last wish boys and lay me[00:02:49]
Out west on that old Rio grande[00:02:56]
Neath that old willow tree in the churchyard[00:03:03]
By my sweetheart the blue velvet band[00:03:10]
