Lyrics The Black Velvet Band

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds you'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

In a neat little town they called Belfast apprentice to trade

I was bound

And many an hour o' sweet happiness

I spent in that neat little town

'Till bad misfortune came o'er me that caused me to stray from the land

Far away from me friends and relations to follow the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds you'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

Well I went out strolling one evening not meaning to go very far

When I met with a ficklesome damsel she was sellin' her trade in the bar

When a watch she took from a customer and slipped it right into my hand

Then the law came and put me in prison bad luck to her black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds you'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

Next morning before judge and jury for trial

I had to appear

Then the judge he says me young fellow the case against you is quite clear

And seven long years is your sentence you're goin' to

Van Dieman's land

Far away from your friends and relations to follow the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds you'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

So come all ye jolly young fellows

I'll have yous take warnin' by me

And when ever you're out on the liquor, me lads beware of the pretty colleens

For they'll fill you with whisky and porter 'till you are not able to stand

And the very next thing that you know, me lads you've landed in

Van Dieman's land

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds you'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds you'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band
