lirik lagu the black velvet band – the houghton weavers

[verse 1]
in a neat little town they call belfast an apprentice to trade i was bound
and many’s the hour sweet happiness i spent in that neat little town
’till 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

[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds i thought her the queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

[verse 2]
as i was walking down broadway not mеaning to stay very long
when who should i meet but this pretty colleen as shе came traipsing along
she was both fair and handsome her neck it was white as a swan
and her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds i thought her the queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

[verse 3]
i took a stroll with this pretty fair maid and a gentleman passing us by
i knew she had the doing of me by the look in her roguish black eye
a gold watch she took from his pocket and placed it right into my hand
the very first day that i met her i’d landed in van diemen’s land
[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds i thought her the queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band

[verse 4]
before the judge and the jury the both of us had to appear
the judge he said to me, “young man the case against you is quite clear
i’ll give you seven years penal servitude to be spent far away from the land
far away from your friends and relations betrayed by the black velvet band”

[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds i thought her the queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders tied up with a black velvet band
