[00:00:15] In a neat little town they call Belfast

[00:00:19] Apprentice to trade I was bound

[00:00:23] And the many's the hours sweet happiness

[00:00:27] I've I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:31] But a sad misfortune's come over me

[00:00:35] Which caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:38] Far away from me friends and companions

[00:00:42] Betrayed by the black velvet band

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

[00:00:50] I thought her the queen of the land

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

[00:00:58] Held up with a black velvet band

[00:01:02] I took a stroll down Broadway

[00:01:06] Intending not long for to stay

[00:01:09] When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid

[00:01:13] Come traipsing along the highway

[00:01:17] She was both fair and handsome

[00:01:21] Her neck it was white like a swan

[00:01:25] And her hair hung down from her shoulders

[00:01:29] Held up with a black velvet band

[00:01:32] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:01:36] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:01:40] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:44] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:02:03] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

[00:02:07] Met a gentleman as he passed by

[00:02:11] Sure I knew she meant the doing of him

[00:02:15] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:02:19] A gold watch she took from his pocket

[00:02:22] And placed it right into my hand

[00:02:26] And the very first thing that I said was

[00:02:30] What's this to the black velvet band

[00:02:34] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:38] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:02:41] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

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

[00:02:49] But before the judge and the jury

[00:02:53] Next morning I had to appear

[00:02:57] And the judge he says to me

[00:03:00] Young man your case it is proven and clear

[00:03:05] I'll give you seven years penal servitude

[00:03:09] To be spent far away from the land

[00:03:12] Far away from your friends and companions

[00:03:16] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:03:20] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:24] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:03:28] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:32] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:03:51] So come all you jolly young fellows

[00:03:55] A warning take from me

[00:03:59] And if you go out on the town me boys

[00:04:03] Beware of the pretty colleens

[00:04:07] They'll feed you with strong drink my lads

[00:04:11] 'Til you are unable to stand

[00:04:14] And the very first thing that you'll know is

[00:04:18] You've landed in van dieman's land

[00:04:22] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:04:26] I thought she was queen of the land

[00:04:30] And her hair it hair hung over her shoulder

[00:04:34] Held up with a black velvet band
