《The New Blue Velvet Band》歌词

[00:00:00] The New Blue Velvet Band - Hank Snow

[00:00:06] Let me tell you a sad but true story

[00:00:12] Let it be an example to man

[00:00:17] How I tore down the world of my sweetheart

[00:00:23] She was known as The Blue Velvet Band

[00:00:29] On her cheeks were the first splash of nature

[00:00:35] Her beauty it seemed to expand

[00:00:40] Her golden hair hung in tresses

[00:00:46] Tied back with a blue velvet band

[00:00:52] But I boarded a tanker for Holland

[00:00:58] And accused her for loving some man

[00:01:03] Still down in my heart she kept callin'

[00:01:09] Come back to your Blue Velvet Band

[00:01:15] As the sea-gull flew high up above me

[00:01:21] In the path of the still red moonlight

[00:01:26] I saw your face and awaked dear

[00:01:32] Out here on the ocean tonight

[00:01:50] I was called to the bridge by our captain

[00:01:56] His hand held a paper of white

[00:02:01] This message just flashed o'er the wireless

[00:02:07] And your darlin' is dying tonight

[00:02:13] So I boarded a freighter in Cuba

[00:02:18] To speed me back to her side

[00:02:24] But the bell in the old country steeple

[00:02:30] Soon told me my sweetheart had died

[00:02:35] Heartbroken I knelt down and kissed her

[00:02:41] The last time to hold her sweet hand

[00:02:47] There still for the ring I had bought her

[00:02:52] On her head was a blue velvet band
