W:Black Velvet Band (2)
W:
W:In a neat little town they call Belfast
W:Apprenticed in trade I was bound
W:And many an hour of sweet happiness
W:I spent in that neat little town
W:Till bad misfortune befell me
W:And caused me to stray from the land
W:Far away from my friends and relations
W:To follow the black velvet band
W:
W:  Her eyes they shone like the diamond
W:  You'd think she was queen of the land
W:  And her hair hung over her shoulder
W:  Tied up in a black velvet band
W:
W:Well, I was out strolling one evening
W:Not meaning to go very far
W:When I met with a pretty young damsel
W:She was selling her trade in a bar
W:When I watched, she took from a customer
W:And slipped it right into my hand
W:Then the Watch came and put me in prison
W:Bad luck to the black velvet band
W:
W:Next morning before judge and jury
W:For our trial I had to appear
W:The judge, he said, "Young fellow
W:The case against you is quite clear
W:And seven years is your sentence
W:You're going to Van Dieman's Land
W:Far away from your friends and relations
W:To follow the black velvet band"
W:
W:So come all you jolly young fellows
W:I'd have you take warning by me
W:And whenever you're out on the liquor
W:Beware of the pretty colleen
W:They'll fill your with whiskey and porter
W:Until You're not able to stand
W:And the very next thing that you know
W:You're landed in Van Dieman's Land
W:
W:recorded by the Irish Rovers

W:As I went walking down Broadway, not intending to stay very long,
W:I met with a frolicksome damsel, as she came tripping along.

W:A watch she pulled out of her pocket, and slipped it right into my hand,
W:On the very first day that I met her, bad luck to the black velvet band.

W:Before judge and jury next morning, both of us did appear.

W:Far away from my friends and companions, betrayed by the black velvet band.
