[00:00:00] The Black Velvet Band (2004 Remaster) - Slim Dusty/Barry Thornton

[00:00:05] In a neat little town they call Belfast

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

[00:00:13] Many an hours sweet happiness

[00:00:16] Have I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:20] I took a stroll down Broadway

[00:00:24] Meaning not long for to stay

[00:00:28] When who should I meet but a pretty fair maid

[00:00:32] Coming along the pathway

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

[00:00:40] I thought her the pride of the land

[00:00:43] Her hair it hung down in long tresses

[00:00:47] Tied up with the black velvet band

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

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

[00:01:04] I could see that she meant a doing of him

[00:01:07] By the look in her lovely black eyes

[00:01:11] His watch she took from his pocket

[00:01:15] And slyly placed it in my hand

[00:01:19] I was taken in charge by a copper

[00:01:23] Bad luck from the black velvet band

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

[00:01:31] I thought her the pride of the land

[00:01:34] Her hair it hung down in long tresses

[00:01:38] Tied up with the black velvet band

[00:01:47] Before the Lord Mayor I was taken

[00:01:51] "Your case Sir I plainly can see

[00:01:54] And if I'm not greatly mistaken

[00:01:58] You're bound far over the sea"

[00:02:02] It's over the dark and blue ocean

[00:02:06] Far away to Van Diemens Land

[00:02:10] Far away from my friends and relations

[00:02:14] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:02:18] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:22] I thought her the pride of the land

[00:02:25] Her hair it hung down in long tresses

[00:02:29] Tied up with the black velvet band
