Lyrics:
The black velvet band --------------------- V. 1 In a neat little town they call Belfast, An apprentice to trade I was bound, And manys the hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town. V. 2 Til a sad misfortune came over me, And forced 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 the diamonds You'd swear she was queen of the land, And her hair hung over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band V. 3 As I went out strolling one evening, Not intending to stray very far I met with a frolicsome damsel Plying her trade in the bar V. 4 A gold watch she clipped from a customer And placed it right into my hand On the very first day that I met her Bad luck to the black velvet band Chorus V. 5 To judge and jury next morning For trial I had to appear And the judge he said my young fellow The case against you is quite clear V. 6 I give you seven years penal servitude To be spent far away from the land Far away from your friends and relations Your going to *Vandamiens land Chorus V. 7 So come all you jolly young fellows A warning take by me When ever you're out on the liquor Beware of the pretty colleens V. 8 For they will fill you with strong drink Until your not able to stand And the very next thing that you know, me lads You've landed in Vandamiens land ******************************************************************************* Note that Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land) is no longer an Australian Penal colony. It's use as such ceased some time ago. (:-)
