The Dubliners - Black velvet band

In a ^Gneat little town they call ^GBelfast, appre^Gnticed to trade I was ^Dbound And m^Gany's the hour of sweet ^Emhappiness, I ^Cspent in that ^Dneat little ^Gtown Till s^Gad misfortune came ^Gover me, which ^Gcaused me to stray from the ^Dland Far aw^Gay from me friends and rela^Emtions, betr^Cayed by the ^Dblack velvet ^Gband

Her e^Gyes they shone like ^Gdiamonds, I ^Gthought her the queen of the l^Dand And her h^Gair it hung over her ^Emshoulder, tied ^Cup with a ^Dblack velvet ^Gband

I t^Gook a stroll with this ^Gpretty fair maid, and a ^Ggentleman passing us ^Dby I k^Gnew she meant the und^Emoing of me, by the ^Clook in her ^Droguish black ^Geye A ^Ggold watch she took from his ^Gpocket, and she ^Gplaced it right into me ^Dhand And the ^Gvery first thing that I ^Emthought was, bad ^Cluck to the ^Dblack velvet b^Gand

Her e^Gyes they shone like ^Gdiamonds, I ^Gthought her the queen of the l^Dand And her h^Gair it hung over her ^Emshoulder, tied ^Cup with a ^Dblack velvet ^Gband

Now bef^Gore a judge and a ^Gjury, next mo^Grning I had to appe^Dar Oh the ^Gjudge he said to ^Emme "Young man, your ^Ccase is ^Dproven ^Gclear We'll ^Ggive you seven years' penal ^Gservitude, to be ^Gspent far away from the ^Dland. Far a^Gway from your friends and rel^Emations, betra^Cyed by the ^Dblack velvet ^Gband

Her e^Gyes they shone like ^Gdiamonds, I ^Gthought her the queen of the l^Dand And her h^Gair it hung over her ^Emshoulder, tied ^Cup with a ^Dblack velvet ^Gband

So ^Gcome all ye jolly young ^Gfellows, and a ^Gwarning take by ^Dme For ^Gwhen you are out on the ^Emtown me lads, bewa^Cre of them ^Dpretty ^Gcolleens For they'll ^Gfeed you with strong ^Gale "More Yeah", until y^Gou are unable to sta^Dnd And the v^Gery next thing that you ^Emknow me lads, is you've ^Clanded in ^DVan Diemen's ^GLand

Her e^Gyes they shone like ^Gdiamonds, I ^Gthought her the queen of the l^Dand And her h^Gair it hung over her ^Emshoulder, tied ^Cup with a ^Dblack velvet ^Gband
