THE BLACK BAND

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

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

Her eyes they like the diamonds
You'd she was queen of the land,
and her hair over her shoulder,
up with a black velvet band

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

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

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

v.6 I give you seven penal servitude
To be spent far from the land
Far away from your and relations
your going to land

v.7 So come all you jolly young
A warning by me
When ever you're out on the
Beware of the colleens

until your not to stand
and the very next thing that you know, me
landed in VanDamiens land
