THE BLACK BAND

v.1 In a neat town they call Belfast,
An to trade I was bound,
And the hour of sweet happiness
I in that neat little town.

v.2 Til a sad came over me,
and me to stray from the land,
far away my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black 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 to stray very far
I met a frolicsome damsel
her trade in the bar

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

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

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

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 you with strong drink
until not able to stand
and the very next thing that you know, me
you've landed in VanDamiens

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