In a Gneat little town they call Prockton

G*
As I as out strolling one evening

Not intending to stay very long

As Cshe came Dtripping aGlong

A watch she pulled out her pocket
D*
And slipped it right into my hand
On the Gvery first G/F#night that I Emmet her
Bad Cluck to the Dblack velvet Gband

Her Geyes, they shone like the diamond
You'd think she was queen of the Dland
And her Ghair hung G/F#over her Emshoulder
Tied Cup in a Dblack velvet Gband
Verse 3:
G*
Before judge and jury next morning
D*
Both of us did appear
A Ggentleman G/F#claimed his Emjewelry
And the Ccase against Dus was Gclear

Now seven long years transportation

Right down to Van Dieman's land
Far Gaway from my G/F#friends and coEmmpanions
To Cfollow this Dblack velvet Gband
