Black Velvet Band - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]
In a neat little town they call Belfast,[00:00:07]
Apprentice to trade I was bound[00:00:11]
Many an hours sweet happiness,[00:00:16]
Have I spent in that neat little town[00:00:20]
A sad misfortune came over me,[00:00:24]
Which caused me to stray from the land[00:00:28]
Far away from me friends and relations,[00:00:33]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:00:37]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:00:41]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:00:45]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:00:49]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:00:54]
I took a stroll down Broadway,[00:00:58]
Meaning not long for to stay[00:01:03]
When who should I meet but this pretty fair[00:01:06]
Maid comes a trapsing along the highway[00:01:11]
She was both fair and handsome,[00:01:15]
Her neck it was just like a swan[00:01:19]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder,[00:01:23]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:01:27]
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,[00:01:49]
And a gentleman passing us by[00:01:53]
Well I knew she meant the doing of him,[00:01:57]
By the look in her roguish black eye[00:02:01]
A goldwatch she took from his pocket[00:02:06]
And placed it right in to my hand[00:02:10]
And the very first thing that I said[00:02:14]
Was bad `cess to the black velvet band[00:02:18]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:02:22]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:02:27]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:02:31]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:02:35]
Before the judge and the jury,[00:02:40]
Next morning I had to appear[00:02:44]
The judge he says to me:[00:02:48]
Young man, your case it is proven clear[00:02:51]
We'll give you seven years penal servitude,[00:02:56]
To be spent faraway from the land[00:03:01]
Far away from your friends and relations,[00:03:05]
Betrayed by the black velvet band[00:03:09]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:03:13]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:03:18]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:03:22]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:03:26]
So come all you jolly young[00:03:30]
Fellows a warning take by me[00:03:33]
When you are out on the town me lads,[00:03:39]
Beware of them pretty colleens[00:03:43]
For they feed you with strong drink,[00:03:47]
Me lads, 'til you are unable to stand[00:03:51]
And the very first thing that you'll know[00:03:56]
Is you've landed in Van Diemens Land[00:03:59]
Her eyes they shone like diamonds[00:04:04]
I thought her the queen of the land[00:04:08]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder[00:04:12]
Tied up with a black velvet band[00:04:17]
