Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys - The Girl in the Blue Velvet Band Lyrics

Lyrics The Girl in the Blue Velvet Band - Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys



One night while out for a ramble
The hour was just about 9
I met a young Maiden in Frisco
On the corner of gleary and Pine
On her face there was beauty of nature
And her eyes they seem to expand
With hair so rich and so brilliant
Entwined in a blue velvet band
We strolled down the street together
In my pocket she placed her small hand
She planted the evidence on me
The girl in the blue velvet band
I heard the scream of the sirens
And the girl in the blue velvet band
She left me to face all the trouble
For a diamond that's worth 10 grand
At night when the bedtime was ringing
Standing close to the bar
I fancy I heard a voice calling
From Out on the Ocean so far
They sent me to San Quentin for stealing
God knows I'm an innocent man
But the guilty one, now she lies dying
The girl in the blue velvet band
Well I'll be out in a year and I'm leaving
And I'll carry the name of a man
That served 10 years in prison
For the girl in the blue velvet band
And when I get out I'll Endeavor
To live in some other land
And I'll Bid Farewell to Old Frisco
And the girl in the blue velvet band
