《The Black Velvet Band》歌词

[00:00:00] The Black Velvet Band - The Dubliners

[00:00:01] Well in a neat little town they called Belfast

[00:00:05] Apprenticed to trade I was bound

[00:00:10] Many an hour's sweet happiness

[00:00:13] Have I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:17] A sad misfortune came over me

[00:00:21] Which caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:25] Far away from my friends and relations

[00:00:28] Betrayed by the black velvet band

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

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

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

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

[00:00:48] I took a stroll down broadway

[00:00:52] Meaning not long for to stay

[00:00:56] When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid

[00:01:00] Come a tripping along the highway

[00:01:04] She was both fair and handsome

[00:01:08] Her neck it was just like a swan

[00:01:11] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:15] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:19] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:01:23] I thought her the queen of the land

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

[00:01:31] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:35] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

[00:01:39] And a gentleman passing us by

[00:01:43] Well I knew she meant the doing of him

[00:01:46] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:01:51] A gold watch she took from his pocket

[00:01:54] And placed it right into my hand

[00:01:58] And the very first thing that I said was

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

[00:02:06] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:10] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:02:14] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:02:18] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:02:22] Before the judge and the jury

[00:02:26] Next morning I had to appear

[00:02:30] The judge he says to me

[00:02:33] Young man you're case it is proven clear

[00:02:38] We'll give you seven years penal servitude

[00:02:42] To be spent far away from the land

[00:02:46] Far away from your friends and companions

[00:02:50] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:02:53] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:58] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:03:01] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:06] Tied up with a black velvet band
