THE VELVET BAND

v.1 In a little 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 away from my friends and
Betrayed by the velvet band

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

v.3 As I out strolling one evening,
not intending to stray 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 day that I met her
Bad luck to the velvet band

v.5 To and jury next morning
for I had to appear
and the he said my young fellow
the case you is quite clear

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

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

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

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