THE VELVET BAND

v.1 In a neat town they call Belfast,
An to trade I was bound,
And manys the of sweet happiness
I in that neat little town.

v.2 Til a sad misfortune came me,
and me to stray from the land,
far from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet

Her eyes shone like the diamonds
You'd swear she was of the land,
and her hung over her shoulder,
tied up a black velvet band

v.3 As I out strolling one evening,
not to stray very far
I met a frolicsome damsel
Plying her in the bar

v.4 A gold she clipped from a customer
and placed it right my hand
On the very first day I met her
Bad luck to the velvet band

v.5 To judge and jury next
for trial I had to
and the judge he said my fellow
the case against you is quite

v.6 I give you seven years servitude
To be far away from the land
Far from your friends and relations
your to *VanDamiens land

v.7 So come all you jolly fellows
A take by me
When ever out on the liquor
of the pretty colleens

v.8 For they will fill you with drink
until not able to stand
and the very thing that you know, me lads
landed in VanDamiens land

Note that Tasmania (Van Land) is no longer an Australian
colony. Its use as such ceased some time ago. (:-)
