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