Black Velvet Band

歌曲歌詞

In a neat little town they call belfast

Apprentice to trade I was bound

And many an hours sweet happiness

Have I spent in that neat little town

A sad misfortune came over me

Which caused me to stray from the land

Far away from my friends and relations

Betrayed by 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

Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll down broadway meaning not long for to stay

When who should I meet

But this pretty fair maid comes a tripping along the highway

She was both fair and handsome

Her neck it was just like a swans

And her hair it hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a 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

Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

And a gentleman passing us by

Well I knew she meant the doing of him

By the look in her roguish black eye

A goldwatch she took from his pocket

And placed it right in to my hand
