《The Black Velvet Band(1993 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Black Velvet Band - The Dubliners

[00:00:07] In a neat little town they call Belfast

[00:00:12] Apprentice to trade I was bound

[00:00:16] Many an hours sweet happiness

[00:00:20] Have I spent in that neat little town

[00:00:25] A sad misfortune came over me

[00:00:29] Which caused me to stray from the land

[00:00:33] Far away from me friends and relations

[00:00:38] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:00:42] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:00:47] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:00:51] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:00:55] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:00:59] I took a stroll down Broadway

[00:01:04] Meaning not long for to stay

[00:01:08] When who should I meet but this pretty fair

[00:01:12] Maid comes a trapsing along the highway

[00:01:17] She was both fair and handsome

[00:01:21] Her neck it was just like a swan

[00:01:25] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:30] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:34] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:01:38] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:01:42] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:01:47] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:01:51] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

[00:01:56] And a gentleman passing us by

[00:02:00] Well I knew she meant the doing of him

[00:02:04] By the look in her roguish black eye

[00:02:08] A goldwatch she took from his pocket

[00:02:13] And placed it right in to my hand

[00:02:17] And the very first thing that I said

[00:02:21] Was bad `cess to the black velvet band

[00:02:26] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:02:30] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:02:34] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:02:38] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:02:43] Before the judge and the jury

[00:02:47] Next morning I had to appear

[00:02:51] The judge he says to me:

[00:02:54] Young man your case it is proven clear

[00:02:59] We'll give you seven years penal servitude

[00:03:04] To be spent faraway from the land

[00:03:08] Far away from your friends and relations

[00:03:12] Betrayed by the black velvet band

[00:03:17] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:03:21] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:03:25] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:03:30] Tied up with a black velvet band

[00:03:34] So come all you jolly young

[00:03:37] Fellows a warning take by me

[00:03:42] When you are out on the town me lads

[00:03:47] Beware of them pretty colleens

[00:03:51] For they feed you with strong drink

[00:03:54] Me lads 'til you are unable to stand

[00:03:59] And the very first thing that you'll know

[00:04:03] Is you've landed in Van Diemens Land

[00:04:08] Her eyes they shone like diamonds

[00:04:12] I thought her the queen of the land

[00:04:16] And her hair it hung over her shoulder

[00:04:21] Tied up with a black velvet band
