The Black Velvet Band歌词完整版

In a neat little town they called Belfast

Apprentice to trade, I was bound

And many an hour's of sweet happiness

Have I spent in that neat little town

But a sad misfortune came o'er 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 the diamonds

You will think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up in a black velvet band

Well I took a stroll down Broadway

Meaning not long for to stay

When who should I see but this pretty fair maid

Come a traipsing along the highway

She was both fair and handsome

Her neck it was just like a swan's

And her hair it hung over her shoulder

Tied up in a black velvet band

So I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

And a gentlemen passing us by

Oh I knew she meant the undoing of him

By the look in her roguish black eyes

A gold watch she stole from his pocket

And placed it right into my hand

And the very first thing that I said was

Bad cess to the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds

I thought her the queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up in a black velvet band

Before the judge and the jury

The next morning I had to appear

And the judge, he says to me, "Young man,

Your case it is proven and clear.

Seven long years penal servitude

To be spent down in Van Diemen's land

Far away from your friends and relations

Betrayed by the black velvet band."

Her eyes, they shone like the diamonds

You'll think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up in a black velvet band

So come all you jolly young fellows

I'll have you take warning from me

If you go out on the town, me boys

Beware of those pretty colleens

They'll feed you whisky and porter

Until you're unable to stand

And the very next thing that you realize, is

You've landed in Van Diemen's land

Her eyes, they shone like the diamonds

You will think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders

Piled up with a black velvet band

Her eyes, they shone like the diamonds

I thought her the queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up in a black velvet band
