THE BLACK VELVET BAND

In a neat little town they call Belfast
And apprentice to trade I was found
And many's the long day of happiness
I spent in that dear little town
Till a sudden misfortune came over me
Which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations
To follow the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought she was queen of the land
With her hair flung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

As I was walking down Broadway
Not intending to stay very long
I met with a frolicsome damsel
As she came tripping along

A watch she took out of her pocket
And slipped it right into my hand
And on the very first day that I met her
Bad luck to her black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought she was queen of the land
With her hair flung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Before judge and jury next morning
The both of us did appear
A gentleman claimed his jewellery
And the case against us was clear

Seven long years transportation
To be spent down in Van Diemen's land
Far away from my friends and relations
Because of the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought she was queen of the land
With her hair flung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
