cliff carlisle - the girl in the blue velvet band lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
one evening while out for a ramble
the hour was just about nine
i met a young maiden in frisco
on the corner of kearny and pine

[verse 2]
on her face there was beauty of nature
her eyes they seemed to expand
that hair so rich and brilliant
entwined in a blue velvet band

[chorus]
oh+del+lay+ee+aye, del+lay+ee

[verse 3]
we strolled down the street together
in my pocket she placed her hand
she planted the evidence on me
oh, the girl in the blue velvet band

[verse 4]
i heard the old scream of the siren
and the girl in that blue velvet band
she left me to face all the trouble
with a diamond worth ten grand
[verse 5]
last night when bed+time was ringing
standing close to the bars
i fancied i heard a voice calling
far out on the ocean of stars

[verse 6]
they sent me to atlanta for stealing
god knows i’m an innocent man
the guilty one now she is dying
oh, the girl in the blue velvet band

[chorus]
oh+del+lay+ee+oh, del+lay+ee+aye, del+lay+ee

[verse 7]
i’ll be out in a week and i’m leaving
but i’ll carry the name of the man
that served ten years in the prison
for the girl in the blue velvet band

[verse 8]
when i get out, i’ll endeavor
to live in some other land
and bid farewell to old frisco
and the grave of my blue velvet band
[chorus]
oh+del+lay+ee+oh, del+lay+ee, del+lay+ee
oh+del+lay+ee+aye, del+lay+ee
oh+del+lay+ee+aye, del+lay+ee+aye
oh+del+lay+ee+oh, del+lay+ee, del+lay+ee
