Karaoke Track: Black Velvet Band by The Dubliners (Sunfly) - Karaoke Nerds

In a neat little town
they call Belfast
Apprenticed in h'ade
I was bound

And many an hour

of sweet happiness

Have I Spent in that
neat little town

A sad misfortune
befell me

And 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 her the

queen of the land

And her hair

it hung
over her shoulder

I took a stroll
down broadway
Meaning not

long for to stay

But who should I
meet but this
pretty young maid
Come a-traipsing

along the highway

She was both fair

and handsome
Her neck it was

just like a swan

g

And her hair
it hung over

her shoulder
Tied up with a

black velvet band I

And her hair

it hung
over her shoulder

Tied up with a

black velvet band

Well I knew she
meant the undoing
of him by the look

in her rogueish

black eyes

And placed it right

into my hand

And the very first

thing that

I said was

Her eyes

they shone
like diamonds

Tied up with a

black velvet band

Before the judge
and the jury

next morning I

had to appear

g

The judge he says

to ma
Young man
Your case it is
proven clear

W e'll give you
seven years
penal servitude
to be Spent far away

from the land

Far away from

your friends

and relations

I thought her the

queen of the land

And her hair

it hung
over her shoulder

So come all you

jolly young fellows

A warning be

taking by me

They'll feed you With

strong drink

me lads

And the very first
thing that

70u know is
3

You've landed in

Van Dieman's land I

Her eyes

they shone
like diamonds

And her hair

it hung
over her shoulder

Tied up with a

black velvet band
