Lyrics The Black Velvet Band (Live) - The Dubliners , Luke Kelly
Well
in
that
neat
little
town
they
call
Belfast,
apprentice
to
trade
I
was
bound
Many
an
hour′s
sweet
happiness,
have
I
spent
in
that
neat
littletown
A
sad
misfortune
came
over
me,
which
caused
me
to
stray
from
the
land
Far
away
from
my
friends
and
relations,
betrayed
by
the
black
velvet
band.
Her
eyes
they
shone
like
diamonds,
I
thought
her
the
queen
of
the
land,
and
her
hair
it
hung
over
her
shoulder,
tied
up
in
a
black
velvet
band.
I
took
a
stroll
down
Broadway,
meaning
not
long
for
to
stay,
when
who
should
I
meet
but
this
pretty
fair
maid,
Come
a-traipsing
along
the
highway.
She
was
both
fair
and
handsome,
her
neck
it
was
just
like
a
swan,
and
her
hair
it
hung
over
her
shoulder,
tied
up
with
a
black
velvet
band
Her
eyes
they
shone
like
diamonds,
I
thought
her
the
queen
of
the
land,
and
her
hair
it
hung
over
her
shoulder,
tied
up
with
a
black
velvet
band
I
took
a
stroll
with
this
pretty
fair
maid,
and
a
gentleman
passing
us
by.
I
knew
she
meant
the
doing
of
him,
by
the
look
in
her
roguish
black
eye
A
gold
watch
she
took
from
his
pocket,
and
placed
it
right
into
my
hand
And
the
very
first
thing
that
I
said
was,
bad
cess
to
the
black
velvet
band.
Her
eyes
they
shone
like
diamonds,
I
thought
her
the
queen
of
the
land,
and
her
hair
it
hung
over
her
shoulder,
tied
up
with
a
black
velvet
band
Before
the
judge
and
the
jury,
next
morning
I
had
to
appear
And
the
judge
he
said
to
me,
young
man,
your
case
it
is
proven
clear
We'll
give
you
seven
years
penal
servitude,
to
be
spent
far
away
from
the
land
Far
away
from
your
friends
and
companions,
betrayed
by
the
black
velvet
band
Her
eyes
they
shone
like
diamonds,
I
thought
her
the
queen
of
the
land,
and
her
hair
it
hung
over
her
shoulder,
tied
up
with
a
black
velvet
band
