《The Black Velvet Band》歌词

[00:00:00] The Black Velvet Band - Ewan MacColl

[00:00:04] In a neat little town they call Belfast

[00:00:08] Apprenticed to trade I was bound

[00:00:12] An many an hours sweet happiness

[00:00:15] Have I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:20] A sad misfortune came over me

[00:00:23] And caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:27] Far away from friends and relations

[00:00:31] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:00:35] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:00:39] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:00:42] And hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:00:46] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:00:57] I took a stroll down Broadway

[00:01:01] Meaning not long for to stay

[00:01:04] When who should I see but this pretty fair maid

[00:01:08] Come a trapsing along the highway

[00:01:12] She was both fair and handsome

[00:01:15] Her neck it was just like a swans

[00:01:19] And hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:22] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:26] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:01:30] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:01:33] And hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:37] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:44] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

[00:01:47] And a gentleman passing us by

[00:01:51] I knew she meant the un-doing of him

[00:01:55] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:01:58] This watch she took from his pocket

[00:02:02] And slipped it right in to my hand

[00:02:05] And the very first thing that I said was

[00:02:09] Bad luck to the black velvet band

[00:02:13] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:16] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:02:20] And hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:02:24] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:02:41] Before the judge and the jury

[00:02:44] Next morning I had to appear

[00:02:48] The judge he says to me

[00:02:50] Young man your case it is proven clear

[00:02:55] We'll give you seven years penal servitude

[00:02:58] To be spent faraway from the land

[00:03:02] Far away from your friends and companions

[00:03:06] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:03:09] So come all you jolly young fellows

[00:03:13] A loving take warning by me

[00:03:16] When you are out on the me lads

[00:03:20] Beware of your pretty colleens

[00:03:23] When feed you do strong drink may boys

[00:03:27] 'Til you are unable to stand

[00:03:31] And before you have judge to leave a bill

[00:03:34] I hure diamonds mengsly

[00:03:38] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:41] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:03:45] And hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:48] Tied up with a black velvet band
