You'd think she was queen of the land, And her hair hung over her shoulders, Tied up with a black velvet band. In a neat little town they call Belfast, apprentice to trade I was bound. And many an hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town. But bad misfortune came o'er me, and caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations. They follow the black velvet band. Her eyes, they shone like the diamonds. You'd think she was queen of the land, And her hair hung over her shoulders, 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 frolicksome damsel. She was selling her trade in the bar. A watch she took from a customer, and slipped it right into my hand. Then the law came and put me in prison. Bad luck to her black velvet band! Her eyes, they shone like the diamonds. You'd think she was queen of the land, And her hair hung over her shoulders, Tied up with a black velvet band. Next morning, before judge and jury, for trial I had to appear. And the judge, he said "my young fellow, the case against you is quite clear. And seven long years is your sentence. You're going to Van Diemen's Land, Far away from your friends and relations. They follow the black velvet band." Her eyes, they shone like the diamonds. You'd think she was queen of the land, And her hair hung over her shoulders, Tied up with a black velvet band. Now, come all ye jolly young fellows, I'll have you take warning by me. And whenever you're out on the liquor, my lads, beware of the pretty colleens. For they'll fill you with whiskey and porter, til you are not able to stand. And the very next thing that you know, my lads, you've landed in Van Diemen's Land. Her eyes, they shone like the diamonds. You'd think she was queen of the land, And her hair hung over her shoulders, Tied up with a black velvet band Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Unicorn, Wasnt That A Party, Years May Come Years May Go, Det Kommer En Gryning, Precis Som Du, Aa Aa Allin Lasta, Precis Som Du, Stureplan, Wish Someone Would Care, Beauty and Family, Beneath The Balcony, Bird Stealing Bread, Cinder And Smoke, Each Coming Night, Fever Dream, Free Until They Cut Me Down, Love And Some Verses, Naked As We Came, On Your Wings, Passing Afternoon, Radio War, Sodom, South Georgia, Such Great Heights, Sunset Soon Forgotten, Teeth in the Grass, The Trapeze Swinger, Upward Over The Mountain, Are You Happy, Belda-Beast, Filled With Fear, Flower and Beads, Flower Beads, Flowers and Beads, Get Out Of My Life, Woman, Her Favorite Style, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, In The Crowds, In The Time Of Our Lives, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, It Must Be Love, Lonely Boy, Most Anything You Want, My Mirage, Possession, Real Fright, So-Lo, Soldier In Our Town, Soul Experience, Stamped Ideas, Termination, Other Irish Rovers song Lyrics Bodenstown Churchyard Lyrics Bridget Flynn Lyrics Drunken Sailor Lyrics Fiddlers Green Lyrics Goodbye Mrs Durkin Lyrics GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER Lyrics Hiring Fair Lyrics The First Love In Life Lyrics The Orange And The Green Lyrics The Scottsman Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Irma Schultz Lyrics Irma Tapio Lyrics Irma Thomas Lyrics Iron And Wine Lyrics IRON BUTTERFLY Lyrics Iron Fire Lyrics Iron Maiden Lyrics Iron Rain Lyrics Iron Savior Lyrics Iron Wine Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
