Black Velvet Band
As I went walking down Broadway Not intending to stay very long I met with a frolicsome damsel As she came tripping along
A watch she pulled out of his pocket And slipped it right into my hand On the very first day that I met her Bad luck to the Black Velvet Band
See her eyes they shone like diamonds you think she was queen of the land with their hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band
'Twas in the town of Tralee and I apprenticed to trade I was bound With plenty of bright amusement To help see the days going round
'Til misfortune and trouble came on me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To follow the Black Velvet Band
See her eyes they shone like diamonds you think she was queen of the land with their hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band
Before the judge and the jury The both of us had to appear And a gentleman swore to the jewelry The case against us was clear
For seven years transportation Right into Van Dieman's Land Far away from my friends and relations To follow the Black Velvet Band
See her eyes they shone like diamonds you think she was queen of the land with their hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band
