《Black Velvet Band》歌词

[00:00:00] Black Velvet Band - The Waldorf String Band

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

[00:00:05] You'd think she was queen of the land

[00:00:08] And her hair hung over her shoulders

[00:00:12] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:00:16] In a neat little town they call Belfast apprentice to trade I was bound

[00:00:23] And many an hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:31] But bad misfortune came o'er me and caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:38] Far away from my friends and relations they treat the black velvet band

[00:00:46] I took a stroll down Broadway

[00:00:50] Intending not long for to stay

[00:00:54] When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid

[00:00:58] Come traipsing along the highway

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

[00:01:05] Her neck it was white like a swan

[00:01:09] And her hair hung down from her shoulders

[00:01:13] Held up with a black velvet band

[00:01:17] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:01:20] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:01:24] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:28] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:32] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

[00:01:35] Met a gentleman as he passed by

[00:01:39] Sure I knew she meant the doing of him

[00:01:43] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:01:47] A gold watch she took from his pocket

[00:01:50] And placed it right into my hand

[00:01:54] And the very first thing that I said was

[00:01:58] What's this to the black velvet band

[00:02:02] But before the Judge and the Jury

[00:02:06] Next morning I had to appear

[00:02:09] And the judge he says to me

[00:02:12] Young man your case it is proven and clear

[00:02:17] I'll give you seven years penal servitude

[00:02:21] To be spent far away from the land

[00:02:24] Far away from your friends and companions

[00:02:28] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:02:32] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:36] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:02:40] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:02:43] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:03:02] So come all you jolly young fellows

[00:03:06] A warning take by me

[00:03:11] If you go out on the town me boys

[00:03:14] Beware of the pretty Colleens

[00:03:18] They'll feed you with strong drinkmy be boys

[00:03:22] And'til you are unable to stand

[00:03:25] And the very first thing that you'll know is

[00:03:29] You've landed in Van Dieman's Land

[00:03:33] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:36] I thought she was queen of the land

[00:03:40] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:44] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:03:48] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:52] I thought she was queen of the land

[00:03:55] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:59] Tied up with a black velvet band
