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 in that neat little town.

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

Her eyes they like the diamonds
You'd swear she was 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 very far
I met with a frolicsome
her trade in the bar

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

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

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

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

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

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