THE VELVET BAND

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

v.2 Til a sad misfortune over me,
and me to stray from the land,
far from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the 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 velvet 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 watch she clipped from a customer
and placed it right into my
On the very day that I met her
Bad luck to the velvet band

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

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

v.7 So all you jolly young fellows
A take by me
ever you're out on the liquor
Beware of the pretty

v.8 For will fill you with strong drink
your not able to stand
and the very next thing you know, me lads
you've landed in VanDamiens

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