The Girl in the Blue Velvet Band - Mac Wiseman
One evening while out for a ramble
The hour was just about nine
I met a young maiden in frisco
On the corner of cherry and pine
On her face there was beauty of nature
And her eyes seemed to expand
Her hair so rich and so brilliant
Was entwined in a blue velvet band
We strolled down the street together
In my pocket she placed her small hand
She planted the evidence on me
The girl in the blue velvet band
I heard the scream of the siren
And the girl in the blue velvet band
Left me to face all the trouble
With a diamond that was worth ten grand
They sent me to san quintin for stealin'
God knows I'm an innocent man
For guilty one now she lies dyin'
The girl in the blue velvet band
Last night when bed time was ringin'
I'll still looking out through the bars
I fancied I hear a voice calling
Far out on than ocean of stars
I'll be out in a week then I'm a leavin'
But I'll carry the name of a man
Who spent ten years in prison
For the girl in the blue velvet band
When I get out now and ever
Leavin' some far distant land
I'll be farewell the warm frisco
And the girl in the blue velvet band
Hoo
Hoooo
