Mac Wiseman - The girl in the blue velvet band

^DOne evening while ^A7out for a ^Dramble the ^Ghour was just about ^Dnine i ^Gmet a young maiden in ^DFrisco On the corner of ^A7Cherry and ^DPine

On her face there was ^A7beauty of ^Dnature And ^Gher eyes seem to ^Dexpand Her ^Ghair so rich and so ^Dbrilliant Was entwined in a ^A7blue velvet ^Dband

We strolled down the ^A7street ^Dtogether In my ^Gpocket she placed her small ^Dhand She ^Gplanted the evidence ^Don me A diamond that ^A7was worth ten ^Dgrand

Well I heard the ^A7scream of the ^Dsirens And t^Ghe girl in the blue velvet ^Dband She l^Geft me to face all the ^Dtroubles With a diamond that ^A7was worth ten ^Dgrand

They sent me to ^A7San Quentin for ^Dstealing ^GGod knows I’m an innocent ^Dman But ^Gthe guilty one now she lies ^Ddying My girl in the ^A7blue velvet ^Dband

At night when ^A7bedtime is ^Dringing i ^Gstand looking out through the ^Dbars i ^Gfancy I hear her voice ^Dcalling Far out on that ^A7ocean of ^Dstars

i’ll be out in a ^A7week and I’m ^Dleaving But ^GI’ll carry that name of a ^Cman Who ^Gspent ten years in ^Dprison For the girl in the ^A7blue velvet ^Dband

When I ^A7get out I will ^Dendeavor To ^Glive in some far distant ^Dland I’ll ^Gbid farewell to old ^DFrisco And the girl in the ^A7blue velvet ^Dband
