《The Black Velvet Band(1993 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Black Velvet Band (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners

[00:00:03] In a neat little town they called Belfast

[00:00:10] Apprentice to trade I was bound

[00:00:16] And many an hour sweet happiness

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

[00:00:23] As sad misfortune came over me

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

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

[00:00:38] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:00:39] Her eyes they shown like diamonds

[00:00:43] I thought her the queen of the land

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

[00:00:52] 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

[00:01:12] Come a-traipsing along the highway

[00:01:16] She was both fair and handsome

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

[00:01:25] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

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

[00:01:34] Her eyes they shown like diamonds

[00:01:38] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:01:42] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:47] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:51] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

[00:01:55] And a gentleman passing us by

[00:01:59] Well I knew she meant the doing of him

[00:02:04] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:02:08] A gold watch she took from his pocket

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

[00:02:17] And the very first thing that I said was

[00:02:20] Bad 'cess to the black velvet band

[00:02:25] Her eyes they shown like diamonds

[00:02:29] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:02:33] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:02:38] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:02:42] Before the judge and the jury

[00:02:46] Next morning I had to appear

[00:02:51] The judge he says to me:

[00:02:52] "Young man you're case it is proven clear

[00:02:59] We'll give you seven years penal servitude

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

[00:03:07] Far away from your friends and relations

[00:03:12] Betrayed by the black velvet band"

[00:03:16] Her eyes they shown like diamonds

[00:03:20] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:03:24] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:27] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:03:33] So come all you jolly young fellows

[00:03:38] A warning take by me

[00:03:41] When you are out on the town me lads

[00:03:46] Beware of the pretty cailíns

[00:03:50] They'll feed you with strong drink me lads

[00:03:54] 'Till you are unable to stand

[00:03:59] And the very first thing that you'll know is

[00:04:03] You've landed in Van Diemens Land

[00:04:07] Her eyes they shown like diamonds

[00:04:12] Her neck it was just like a swan

[00:04:15] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:04:20] Tied up with a black velvet band
