Luyện nghe bài hát The Black Velvet Band

In a little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed to trade I was
Oh many an sweet happiness
Have I spent in that little town

But a sad misfortune over me
Which caused me to from the land
Far from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the velvet band

(after each verse):
Her eyes, they shone like
I thought her the queen of the
And her hair, it over her shoulder
Tied up with a black band

I took a down Broadway
Oh meaning not long for to
When who should I but this pretty fair maid
a-traipsing along the highway

She was both and handsome
Her neck, it was just a swan's
And her hair, it hung over her
Tied up a black velvet band

(Chorus)

So I a stroll with this pretty fair maid
And a gentleman, us by
Oh I knew that she the undoing of him
By the look in her roguish eye

A gold watch she took his pocket
And it right into my hand
And the very first that I said was
"Bad to the black velvet band"

(Chorus)

Seven years' penal servitude
I spent in Van Dieman's Land
Far away my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet

(Chorus 2x)
