Luyện nghe bài hát Black Velvet Band

THE VELVET BAND

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

v.2 Til a sad misfortune over me,
and forced me to stray the land,
far away from my friends and
Betrayed by the velvet band

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

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

v.4 A gold watch she from 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 I had to appear
and the judge he my young fellow
the case against you is clear

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

v.7 So come all you young fellows
A warning by me
When ever out on the liquor
Beware of the pretty

v.8 For they fill you with strong drink
until your not to stand
and the very next that you know, me lads
you've landed in land

Note that (Van Diemen's Land) is no longer an Australian
penal colony. Its use as such ceased time ago. (:-)
