The Black Velvet Band - Irish Folk Players[00:00:00]

Written by：Ronnie Drew/Luke Kelly/Barney Mac Kenna/Ciaran Bourke/John Sheehan[00:00:07]

In a neat little town they call Belfast[00:00:15]

Apprentice to trade I was bound[00:00:19]

And the many's the hours sweet happiness[00:00:23]

I've I spent in that neat little town[00:00:27]

But a sad misfortune's come over me[00:00:31]

Which caused me to stray from the land[00:00:35]

Far away from me friends and companions[00:00:38]

Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:42]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:00:46]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:00:50]

And her hair it hair hung over her shoulder[00:00:54]

Held up with a black velvet band[00:00:58]

I took a stroll down Broadway[00:01:02]

Intending not long for to stay[00:01:06]

When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid[00:01:09]

Come traipsing along the highway[00:01:13]

She was both fair and handsome[00:01:17]

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

And her hair hung down from her shoulders[00:01:25]

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

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:01:32]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:01:36]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:40]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:44]

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid[00:02:03]

Met a gentleman as he passed by[00:02:07]

Sure I knew she meant the doing of him[00:02:11]

By the look in her roguish black eye[00:02:15]

A gold watch she took from his pocket[00:02:19]

And placed it right into my hand[00:02:22]

And the very first thing that I said was[00:02:26]

What's this to the black velvet band[00:02:30]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:34]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:38]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:41]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:45]

But before the judge and the jury[00:02:49]

Next morning I had to appear[00:02:53]

And the judge he says to me[00:02:57]

Young man your case it is proven and clear[00:03:00]

I'll give you seven years penal servitude[00:03:05]

To be spent far away from the land[00:03:09]

Far away from your friends and companions[00:03:12]

Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:03:16]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:03:20]

I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:24]

And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:28]

Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:32]

So come all you jolly young fellows[00:03:51]

A warning take from me[00:03:55]

And if you go out on the town me boys[00:03:59]

Beware of the pretty colleens[00:04:03]

They'll feed you with strong drink my lads[00:04:07]

'Til you are unable to stand[00:04:11]

And the very first thing that you'll know is[00:04:14]

You've landed in van dieman's land[00:04:18]

Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:04:22]

I thought she was queen of the land[00:04:26]

And her hair it hair hung over her shoulder[00:04:30]

Held up with a black velvet band[00:04:34]
