Lyrics:In a neat little town they call Boston
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
And many an hour's
sweet happiness
I spent in that neat little town
Then bad misfortune befell me
That
caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and companions
To follow the
black velvet band

Well, I was out strolling one evening
Not intending to stay very
long
When I met with a pretty young damsel
Who was selling her trade in the bar.
When
I watched, she took from a customer
And slipped it right into my hand
Then the Watch came
and put me in prison
Bad luck to the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the
diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a black velvet band

Before judge and jury next morning
Both of us
did appear
A gentleman claimed his jury
And the case against us was clear
Now seven
long years transportation
Right down to Van Dieman's land
Far away from my friends and
companions
To follow the black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds

You'd think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder
Tied up
with a black velvet band

So come all you jolly young fellows
I'd have you take
warning by me
Whenever you're out on the liquor
Beware of the pretty colleen

Her
eyes they shone like the diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung
over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the
diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a black velvet band
