THE BLACK BAND

v.1 In a little town they call Belfast,
An to trade I was bound,
And the hour 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 away from my and relations
Betrayed by the black band

Her eyes they shone the diamonds
swear she was queen of the land,
and her hair over her shoulder,
tied up with a black velvet

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

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

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

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

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

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