Bài hát Black Velvet Band Báo Lỗi

In a neat little town they call Brockton

Apprenticed in trade I was bound

And many an hour's sweet happiness

I spent in that neat little town

Then bad misfortune befell me

That caused me to stray from the land

Far away from my friends and companions

To follow the black velvet band


Well, I was out strolling one evening

Not intending to stay very long

When I met a frolicsome damsel

As she came tripping along

A watch she pulled out her pocket

And slipped it right into my hand

On the very first night that I met her,

Bad luck to the black velvet band


Her eyes they shone like the diamonds

You'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up in a 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


Her eyes they shone like the diamonds

You'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a 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


She'll fill you with whiskey and porter

Until you're not able to stand

And the very next thing you'd know

You've landed in Van Dieman's Land.


Her eyes they shone like the diamonds

You'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a black velvet band


Her eyes they shone like the diamonds

You'd think she was queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a black velvet band
