D G C D
In a neat little town they call Belfast, apprentice to trade I was bound
G D G
Many an hours’ sweet happiness, have I spent in that neat little town
C D
A sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to stray from the land
G D G
Far away from me friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
Chorus:
G C D
Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land
G D G C D G
And her hair it hung over her shoulder tied up with a black velvet band
D G C D
I took a stroll down Broadway, meaning not long for to stay
G D G
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid comes a traipsin’ along the highway
C D
She was both fair and handsome, her neck it was just like a swan
G D G
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
Chorus:
D G C D
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us by
G D G
Well I knew she meant the doing of him, by the look in her roguish black eye
C D
A gold watch she took from his pocket and placed it right in to my hand
G D G
And the very first thing that I said was bad 'cess to the black velvet band
Chorus:
D G C D
Before the judge and the jury, next morning I had to appear
G D G
The judge he says to me: "Young man, your case it is proven clear
C D
We'll give you seven years penal servitude, to be spent far away from the land
G D G
Far away from your friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band"
Chorus:
D G C D
So come all you jolly young fellows a warning take by me
G D G
When you are out on the town me lads, beware of them pretty colleens
C D
For they feed you with strong drink, "me lads", 'til you are unable to stand
G D G
And the very first thing that you'll know is you've landed in Van Diemens’ Land
Chorus:
