《Black Velvet Band》歌词

[00:00:00] Black Velvet Band - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:07] In a neat little town they call Belfast,

[00:00:11] Apprentice to trade I was bound

[00:00:16] Many an hours sweet happiness,

[00:00:20] Have I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:24] A sad misfortune came over me,

[00:00:28] Which caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:33] Far away from me friends and relations,

[00:00:37] 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

[00:00:49] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:00:54] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:00:58] I took a stroll down Broadway,

[00:01:03] Meaning not long for to stay

[00:01:06] When who should I meet but this pretty fair

[00:01:11] Maid comes a trapsing along the highway

[00:01:15] She was both fair and handsome,

[00:01:19] Her neck it was just like a swan

[00:01:23] And her hair it hung over her shoulder,

[00:01:27] Tied 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

[00:01:49] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid,

[00:01:53] And a gentleman passing us by

[00:01:57] Well I knew she meant the doing of him,

[00:02:01] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:02:06] A goldwatch she took from his pocket

[00:02:10] And placed it right in to my hand

[00:02:14] And the very first thing that I said

[00:02:18] Was bad `cess to the black velvet band

[00:02:22] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:27] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:02:31] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:02:35] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:02:40] Before the judge and the jury,

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

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

[00:02:51] Young man, your case it is proven clear

[00:02:56] We'll give you seven years penal servitude,

[00:03:01] To be spent faraway from the land

[00:03:05] Far away from your friends and relations,

[00:03:09] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:03:13] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:18] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:03:22] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:26] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:03:30] So come all you jolly young

[00:03:33] Fellows a warning take by me

[00:03:39] When you are out on the town me lads,

[00:03:43] Beware of them pretty colleens

[00:03:47] For they feed you with strong drink,

[00:03:51] Me lads, 'til you are unable to stand

[00:03:56] And the very first thing that you'll know

[00:03:59] Is you've landed in Van Diemens Land

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

[00:04:08] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:04:12] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:04:17] Tied up with a black velvet band
