The Black Velvet Band - Ewan MacColl
In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
An many an hours sweet happiness
Have I spent in that neat little town
A sad misfortune came over me
And caused me to stray from the land
Far away from friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
I took a stroll down Broadway
Meaning not long for to stay
When who should I see but this pretty fair maid
Come a trapsing along the highway
She was both fair and handsome
Her neck it was just like a swans
And hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
And a gentleman passing us by
I knew she meant the un-doing of him
By the look in her roguish black eye
This watch she took from his pocket
And slipped it right in to my hand
And the very first thing that I said was
Bad luck to the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Before the judge and the jury
Next morning I had to appear
The judge he says to me
Young man your case it is proven clear
We'll give you seven years penal servitude
To be spent faraway from the land
Far away from your friends and companions
Betrayed by the black velvet band
So come all you jolly young fellows
A loving take warning by me
When you are out on the  me lads
Beware of  your pretty colleens
When feed you do strong drink may boys
'Til you are unable to stand
And before you have judge to leave a bill
I hure diamonds mengsly
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And  hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
