Black Velvet Band
In a nGeat little town they call Belfast apprenticed to trade I was bDound
And mGany an hour of sweet hEmappiness I sCpent in that nDeat little tGown
Till bGad misfortune came over me and caused me to stray from the lDand
Far awGay from me friends and reEmlations me fCollowed the BlDack Velvet BGand
Her eGyes they shown like the diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the lDand
And her hGair hung over her shEmoulder
Tied Cup with a BlDack Velvet BGand
Well GI went out strolling one evening not meaning to go very Dfar
When I mGet with a fickle-some dEmamsel she was plCying her tDrade in a Gbar
When a wGatch she took from a cutomer and slipped it right into me hDand
And the lGaw it came and arEmrested me bad lCuck to your BlDack Velvet BGand
This mGornin' before judge and jury a trial I had to appDear
And the jGudge he says "me yoEmung fellow&qCuot; the caseD against you iGs quite clear
And seGven long years is your sentence you're going to Van Daemons LDand
Far aGway from your friends and rEmelations and fCollow the BDlack Velvet BGand
So cGome all ye jolly young fellows I'll have you take warnin' from Gme
WhenGever you're into the Emliquor me lads beCware of the pDretty collGeen
For they'll fGill you with whiskey and porter till you are not able to stDand
And the vGery next thing that you kEmnow me lads you've lCanded in VDan Daemon's LGand
