Black Velvet Band - Waxy Brothers

In a neat little town they call Belfast

Apprentice to trade I was bound

And many an hour of sweet happiness

I spent in that neat little town

Tell 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 she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders

Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a walk down Broadway

Meeting not long for to stay

When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid

Come traipsing along the highway

She was both fair and handsome

Her neck it was just like a swan

And her hair

Hung down over her shoulders

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 walk with this pretty fair maid

Met a gentleman as he passed by

What I knew that she meant the doing of him

By the look in her roguish black eye

A gold watch she took from his pocket

And placed it right into my hand

And the very first thing that I said was

What's this to 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

But before the Judge and the Jury

Next morning I had to appear

And the judge he says to me

Young man your case it is proven and clear

I'll give seven years penal servitude

To be spent to Van Diemen's Land

Far away from your 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

Her eyes they shone like diamonds

I thought she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders

Tied up with a black velvet band
