[Intro]

[Verse]
In a Gneat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed to trade I was Dbound
For Gmany an hour's sweet happiEmness
Have I Amspent in that Dneat little Ctown
[Verse]
But a Gsad misfortune came over me
Which caused me to stray from the Dland
Far aGway from my friends and relaEmtions
BeAmtrayed by the Dblack velvet Cband
[Chorus]
Her Geyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the Dland
And her Ghair it hung over her Emshoulder
Tied Amup with a Dblack velvet Gband
[Verse]
I Gtook a stroll down Broadway
Oh, meaning not long for to Dstay
When Gwho should I meet but this pretty fair Emmaid
Come a'Amtraipsing aDlong the highCway
[Verse]
She Gwas both fair and handsome
Her neck it was just like a Dswan's
And her Ghair it hung over her Emshoulder
Tied Amup with a Dblack velvet Gband
[Chorus]
Her Geyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the Dland
And her Ghair it hung over her Emshoulder
Tied Amup with a Dblack velvet Cband
[Instrumental]
C Em Am D
[Verse]
I Gtook a stroll with this pretty fair maid
And a gentleman passing us Dby
Oh, I Gknew that she meant the unEmdoing of him
By the Amlook in her Droguish black Ceye
[Verse]
A Ggold watch she took from his pocket
And slipped it right into my Dhand
And the Gvery first thing that I said Emwas
"A Amcurse to the bDlack velvet Cband"
[Chorus]
Her Geyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the Dland
And her Ghair it hung over her Emshoulder
Tied Amup with a Dblack velvet Gband
[Verse]
GSeven long years penal servitude
To be spent down in Van Diemen's DLand
Far aGway from my friends and relaEmtions
BeAmtrayed by the Dblack velvet Cband

I thought her the queen of the Eland
And her Ahair it hung over her F#mshoulder
Tied Bmup with a Eblack velvet Aband
[Chorus]
Her Aeyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the Eland
And her Ahair it hung over her F#mshoulder
Tied Bmup with a Eblack velvet Aband
