《Black Velvet Band》歌词

[00:00:00] Black Velvet Band - Kendall Morse

[00:00:03] In a neat little town they call Belfast

[00:00:07] Apprentice to trade I was bound

[00:00:11] And the many's the hours sweet happiness

[00:00:15] I've I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:19] But a sad misfortune's come over me

[00:00:23] Which caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:26] Far away from me friends and companions

[00:00:31] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:00:35] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:00:39] You think she was queen of the land

[00:00:42] And her hair

[00:00:43] Hung over her shoulder

[00:00:46] Held up with a black velvet band

[00:00:52] Well I was out strolling one evening

[00:00:56] Not meaning to go very far

[00:01:00] When I met with a pretty young damsel

[00:01:04] Who was selling her trade in the bar

[00:01:07] When I watched she took from a customer

[00:01:11] And slipped it right into my hand

[00:01:14] Then the Watch came and put me in prison

[00:01:19] Bad luck to the black velvet band

[00:01:23] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:01:26] You think she was queen of the land

[00:01:30] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:34] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:40] Next morning before judge and jury

[00:01:44] For a trial I had to appear

[00:01:48] And the judge said

[00:01:49] You young fellows

[00:01:52] The case against you is quite clear

[00:01:55] And seven long years is your sentence

[00:01:59] You're going to Van Dieman's Land

[00:02:03] Far away from your friends and relations

[00:02:07] To follow the black velvet band

[00:02:13] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:16] You think she was queen of the land

[00:02:20] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:02:24] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:02:30] Come all you jolly young fellows

[00:02:33] I'd have you take warning by me

[00:02:37] Whenever you're out on the liquor

[00:02:40] Me boys

[00:02:41] Beware of the pretty colleen

[00:02:45] She'll fill you with whiskey and porter

[00:02:49] Until you're not able to stand

[00:02:52] And the very next thing that you'll know

[00:02:55] Me boys

[00:02:56] You're landed in Van Dieman's Land

[00:03:00] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:04] You think she was queen of the land

[00:03:07] It hair hung over her shoulder

[00:03:11] Held up with a black velvet band
