The Black Velvet Band - The High Kings[00:00:00]
In a neat little town they call Belfast[00:00:12]
Apprenticed to trade I was bound[00:00:18]
Many an hours sweet happiness[00:00:25]
Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:32]
A sad misfortune came over me[00:00:38]
Which caused me to stray from the land[00:00:44]
Far away from my friends and relations[00:00:50]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:57]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:01:03]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:01:08]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:13]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:18]
I took a stroll down Broadway[00:01:26]
Meaning not long for to stay[00:01:30]
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid[00:01:35]
Come a trapsing along the highway[00:01:40]
She was both fair and handsome[00:01:44]
Her neck it was just like a swans[00:01:48]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:01:53]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:58]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:02]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:07]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:11]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:16]
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid[00:02:31]
And a gentleman passing us by[00:02:35]
Oh I knew she meant the un-doing of him[00:02:39]
By the look in her roguish black eye[00:02:44]
A gold watch she took from his pocket[00:02:48]
And slipped it right in to my hand[00:02:53]
And the very first thing that I said was[00:02:57]
Bad 'cess to the black velvet band[00:03:02]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:03:06]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:10]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:15]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:19]
Seven long years penal servitude[00:03:26]
I spent down in Van Diemen's Land[00:03:31]
Far away from my friends and relations[00:03:35]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:03:41]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:03:46]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:50]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:54]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:58]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:04:03]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:04:07]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:04:11]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:04:19]
