the ferrymen - black velvet band lyrics
[verse 1]
in a neat little town they call belfast
apprentice to trade i was bound
many’s an hour sweet happiness
i spent in that neat little town
till a sad misfortune came over me
which caused me to stray from the land
far away from my friends and relations
betrayed by the black velvet band
[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds
you think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with the black velvet band
[verse 2]
as i was walking down broadway
not intending to stay vеry long
i met with a frolicsome damsel
as shе came tripping along
a gold watch she stole from her pocket
and placed it right into my hand
and the very first thing that i said was
“bad luck to the black velvet band”
[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds
you think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with the black velvet band
[verse 3]
before the judge and the jury, next morning we both did appear
when the gentleman claimed his jewelry, the case against us was clear
he said, “seven long years penal servitude to be spent in van diemen’s land”
far away from my friends and relations to follow the black velvet band
[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds
you think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with the black velvet band
[chorus]
her eyes they shone like diamonds
you think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with the black velvet band
