A sad misfortune came over me, Which caused me to stray from the land, Far away from me friends and relations, Betrayed by the black velvet band. Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land, And her hair hung over her shoulders, Tied up with a black velvet band. I took a stroll down broadway, Meaning not long for to stay, When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid, Coming trapsing along the highway. She was both fair and handsome, Her neck it was just like a swan, And her hair 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, Well I knew she meant the doing of him, By the look in her roguish black eye. A gold watch she took from his pocket, And placed it right into my hand, And the very first thing that I said was, Bad ?cess to the 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 far away from the land, Far away from your friends and relations, Betrayed by the black velvet band." So come all you jolly young fellows, A warning take by me, When you are out on the town, me lads, Beware of the pretty colleens. They?ll feed you with strong drink, me lads, ?Till you are unable to stand, And the very first thing that you know is, You?ve landed in Van Diemens Land Related Lyrics Random lyrics: THE PEAT BOG SOLDIERS, THE RISING OF THE MOON, THE SPANISH LADY, THE SPRINGHILL MINE DESASTER, THE TOWN I LOVED SO WELL, THE WATER IS WIDE A SHIP, TRAMPS AND HAWKERS, WHISKEY ON A SUNDAY, WILD MOUNTAIN THYME, WILD ROVER, YE JACOBITES BY NAME, Bayangkanlah, Begitu Indah, Beri Aku Arti, Hitam, Jawaban Hati, Kasih Tak Sampai, Kemana Angin Berhembus, Mahadewi, Seandainya Aku Bisa Memilih, Semua Tak Sama, Seperti Kekasihku, Sesuata Yang Indah, Sesuatu Yang Indah, Sobat, adios ayer, Aika Mittaa Ystaevyyttae, Ei Mee Pois, En Kaipaa Sua, Yoeperhonen, La Jasette, 11 Y 6, Al Lado Del Camino, Brillante Sobre El Mic, Cable A Tierra, Cadaver Exquisito, CadVer Exquisito, Circo Beat, Dar Es Dar, Del 63, Dos En La Ciudad, El Amor Despues Del Amor, El Chico De La Tapa, El Diablo De Tu CorazN, El Diablo De Tu Coraz?N, Fue Amor, Giros, Llueve Sobre Mojado, Mariposa Technicolor, Polaroid De Locura Ordinaria, Other Paddy Schmidt song Lyrics ARAGON MILL Lyrics ARE YE SLEEPING MAGGIE Lyrics BACK HOME IN DERRY Lyrics MADAM IM A DARLING Lyrics MAIRIS WEDDING Lyrics MOLLY MALONE Lyrics MONTO Lyrics MURSHIN DURKIN Lyrics MY BELFAST Lyrics NANCY WHISKEY Lyrics NOW IM EASY Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Padi Lyrics Padilla Jose Lyrics Paeivi Lepistoe Lyrics Paent Kevin Lyrics Paez Fito Lyrics Fito Paez Lyrics PAGAN LORN Lyrics Pagano Lindsay Lyrics Page Lyrics Page and Plant 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
