the irish rovers - tied up with a black velvet band lyrics
[verse 1]
in a neat little town they call belfast
apprentice to trade, i was bound
and many’s the hour sweet happiness
oh, i spent in that neat little town
’til bad misfortune came over me
that caused me to stray from the land
far away from me friends and relations
to follow the black velvet band
[chorus]
her eyes, they shone like the diamonds
you would think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with a black velvet band
[verse 2]
as i went walkin’ down broadway
not mеaning to stay very long
i met with a frolic some damsеl
as she came a+dropping the lone
a watch she pulled out of her pocket
she slipped it right into me hands
then the law came and put me in prison
bad luck to her black velvet band
[chorus]
her eyes, they shone like the diamonds
you would think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with a black velvet band
[verse 3]
next morning before judge and jury
the both of us had to appear
and the judge said, “my jolly good fellow
the case against you is quite clear.”
and seven long years transportation
you’re goin’ to van diemen’s land
far away from your friends and relations
betrayed by the black velvet band
[chorus]
her eyes, they shone like the diamonds
you would she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with a black velvet band
[verse 4]
so come on, ye jolly young fellows
you should all take a warning from me
and when ever you’re out on the liquor, me lads
beware of the pretty cailíns
they’ll fill you with the whiskey and porter
until you’re not able to stand
and the very next thing that you know, me lads
you’ll be sent off to van diemen’s land
[chorus]
her eyes, they shone like the diamonds
you would think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with a black velvet band
[chorus]
her eyes, they shone like the diamonds
you would think she was queen of the land
and her hair hung over her shoulders
tied up with a black velvet band
