Well, in a Gneat little town they call GBelfast, appGrentice to tCrade I was D7bound MaGny an hours sweet Emhappiness, have I spCent in that D7neat little toGwn
GA sad misfortune came over meG, which caused me to stCray from the lD7and
Far away from my friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
GHer eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the qCueen of the lanD7d And her haiGr it hung over her shEmoulder Tied uCp with a blaD7ck velvet banGd
GI took a stroll down Broadway, meaning not long for to stay GWhen who should I meet but this pretty fair maid comes a Ctripping along the D7highway GShe was both fair and handsome, her neck it was just like a swans GAnd her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied Cup with a bD7lack velvet band
GHer eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the qCueen of the lanD7d And her haiGr it hung over her shEmoulder Tied uCp with a blaD7ck velvet banGd
GI took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us by GWell I knew she meant the doing of him, by the Clook in her roguish D7black eye GA goldwatch she took from his pocket and placed it right in to my hand GAnd the very first thing that I said was bad lCuck to the black velvD7et band
GHer eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the qCueen of the lanD7d And her haiGr it hung over her shEmoulder Tied uCp with a blaD7ck velvet banGd
GBefore the judge and the jury, next morning I had to appear GThe judge he says to me: "Young man, your Ccase it is proven D7clear We'll give you seven years penal servitude, to be spent faraway from the land Far away from your friends and companions, betrayed by the black velvet band"
GHer eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the qCueen of the lanD7d And her haiGr it hung over her shEmoulder Tied uCp with a blaD7ck velvet banGd
GSo come all you jolly young fellows a warning take by me GWhen you are out on the town me lads, bewCare of them pretty colD7leens GFor they feed you with strong drink, "Oh yeah", 'til you are unable to stand GAnd the very next thing that you'll know is you've lCanded in Van D7Diemens Land
GHer eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the qCueen of the lanD7d And her haiGr it hung over her shEmoulder Tied uCp with a blaD7ck velvet banGd
