Black Velvet Band Lyrics
Well, I was out strolling one evening
Not intending to stay very long
When I met with a frolicsome damsel
As she came a trippin along
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 in a black velvet band
Well a watch, she pulled out her pocket
And slipped it right into my hand
On the very first day that I met her
Bad luck to the black velvet band
Before judge and jury next morning
Both of us did appear
A gentleman claimed his jewelry
And the case against us was clear
Now seven long years transportation
Right down to Van Dieman's Land
Far away from my friends and companions
To follow the black velvet band
Not intending to stay very long
When I met with a frolicsome damsel
As she came a trippin along
You'd think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder
Tied up in a black velvet band
And slipped it right into my hand
On the very first day that I met her
Bad luck to the black velvet band
Both of us did appear
A gentleman claimed his jewelry
And the case against us was clear
Right down to Van Dieman's Land
Far away from my friends and companions
To follow the black velvet band
