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 B    Add to del.icio.us    Digg this    Reddit More Dropkick Murphys Lyrics: 1.    Caps And Bottles  view 2.    For Boston  view 3.    Fields Of Athenry  view 4.    Blood And Whiskey  view 5.    The New American Way  view 6.    Buried Alive  view 7.    Euro Trash  view 8.    Watch Your Back  view 9.    Boys On The Docks (Murphys Pub Version)  view 10.    Pipebomb On Lansdowne  view home | artist browse | track browse | search | random lyric | submit lyric | contact us | link partners Copyright © lyricing.com - Lyrics site script developed by ARWScripts.com All album artwork and lyrics are property of their respective authors, artists and labels.
