THE BLACK VELVET

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

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

Her eyes they like the diamonds
swear she was queen of the land,
and her hair hung her shoulder,
tied up with a black band

v.3 As I went out one evening,
not intending to stray far
I met with a frolicsome
her trade in the bar

v.4 A gold watch she clipped a customer
and placed it right my hand
On the very day that 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 said my young
the against you is quite clear

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

v.7 So come all you young fellows
A take by me
When you're out on the liquor
Beware of the colleens

v.8 For they will you with strong drink
until not able to stand
and the very next thing that you know, me
you've in VanDamiens land

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