[00:00:00] The Black Velvet Band - Johnny Logan

[00:00:02] Written by：Trad

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

[00:00:09] Apprenticed to trade I was bound

[00:00:13] And many an hour's sweet happiness

[00:00:18] Have I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:22] A sad misfortune came over me

[00:00:27] Which 'caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:32] Far away from my friends and relations

[00:00:36] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:00:41] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:00:45] I thought her the Queen of the land

[00:00:50] And her hair it hung over her shoulders

[00:00:55] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:00:59] I took a stroll down broadway

[00:01:04] Meaning not long for to stay

[00:01:08] When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid

[00:01:13] Comes a tripping along the highway

[00:01:18] She was both fair and handsome

[00:01:22] Her neck it was just like a swan

[00:01:27] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:32] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:36] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:01:41] I thought her the Queen of the land

[00:01:45] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:50] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:55] I took a stroll with this fair maid

[00:01:59] And a gentleman passing us by

[00:02:04] Well I knew that she meant the doing of him

[00:02:08] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:02:13] A gold watch she took from his pocket

[00:02:18] And placed it right into my hand

[00:02:22] And the very first thing that I said was

[00:02:27] Bad luck to 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

[00:02:45] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:03:09] Before the judge and the jury

[00:03:13] Next morning I had to appear

[00:03:18] And the judge

[00:03:19] He says to me young man

[00:03:22] You're case it is proven clear

[00:03:27] We'll give you seven years penal servitude

[00:03:32] To be spent far away from the land

[00:03:36] Far away from your friends and companions

[00:03:41] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:03:46] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:50] I thought her the Queen of the land

[00:03:54] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

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

[00:04:04] So come all you jolly young fellows

[00:04:08] A warning take by me

[00:04:13] When you are out on the town me lads

[00:04:18] Beware of them pretty colleens

[00:04:22] For they will feed you with strong drink

[00:04:27] 'Till you are unable to stand

[00:04:31] And the very next thing that you'll know is

[00:04:36] You've landed in Van Diemen's land

[00:04:41] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:04:45] I thought her the Queen of the land

[00:04:50] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:04:55] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:04:59] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:05:04] I thought her the Queen of the land

[00:05:08] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:05:13] Tied up with a black velvet band
