THE BLACK VELVET

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

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

Her eyes shone like the diamonds
You'd she was queen of the land,
and her hair hung her shoulder,
tied up with a velvet band

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

v.4 A gold she clipped from a customer
and placed it into my hand
On the first day that I met her
Bad luck to the black velvet

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

v.6 I give you seven years servitude
To be spent far away the land
Far from your friends and relations
going to *VanDamiens 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 they fill you with strong drink
until your not to stand
and the very next thing that you know, me
you've in VanDamiens land
