Текст, перевод и аккорды “Black Velvet Band”
In a neat little town they call Belfast Apprenticed in trade I was bound And many's the hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town Till bad misfortune befell me That caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations To follow the black velvet band Her eyes they shone like the diamond You'd think she was queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band As I was out strolling down broadway Not intending to go very far I met with a frolicksome damsel Applying her trade in a bar Well a watch she took from a customer And she slipped it right into my hand Then the Watch came and put me in prison Bad luck to the black velvet band Before judge and jury next morning For our trial I had to appear The judge, he said, "My young fellow, The case against you is quite clear. Well seven years is your sentence. You're going to Van Dieman's Land. Far away from your friends and relations To follow the black velvet band." So come all you jolly young fellows I'd have you take warning by me Whenever you're out on the liquor Beware of the pretty colleen For she'll fill you with whiskey and porter Until You're not able to stand And the very next thing that you notice You've landed in Van Dieman's Land
