In a neat little town they call Belfast apprenticed to trade I was bound And many an hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town Till bad misfortune came over me and caused me to stray from the land Far away from me friends and relations me followed the Black Velvet Band Her eyes they shown 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 Well I went out strolling one evening not meaning to go very far When I met with a fickle-some damsel she was plying her trade in a bar When a watch she took from a customer and slipped it right into me hand And the law it came and arrested me bad luck to your Black Velvet Band Her eyes they shown 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 Next morning before judge and jury a trial I had to appear And the judge he says me young fellow the case against you is quite clear And seven long years is your sentence you're going to Van Daemons Land Far away from your friends and relations and follow the Black Velvet Band Her eyes they shown 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 ye jolly young fellows I'll have you take warning by me Whenever you're into the liquor me lads beware of the pretty colleen they'll fill you with whiskey and porter until you're not able to stand the very next thing that you know me lads you've landed in Van Daemons Land Her eyes they shown 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 shown 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
