lirik lagu black velvet band – seamus kennedy
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
in a neat little town they call belfast
apprenticed to trade i was bound
and many an hour’s sweet happiness
i spent in that neat little town
till bad misfortune came o’er me
that caused me to stray from the land
far away from my friends and relations
to follow the black velvet band
well, i was out strolling one evening
not meaning to go very far
when i met with a pretty young damsel
who was selling her trade in the bar
when i watched, she took from a customer
and slipped it right into my hand
then the watch came and put me in prison
bad luck to the black velvet band
next morning before judge and jury
for a trial i had to appear
and the judge, he said, “you young fellows…
the case against you is quite clear
and seven long 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, me lads
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 that you’ll know, me lads
you’re landed in van dieman’s land
