Текст песни The Black Velvet Band - The Dubliners feat. Seán Cannon



In the neat little town they call
Belfast, and apprentice to trade I was bound.
And many the hours sweet happiness, I spent in that neat little town.
Till a sad misfortune it 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 the diamonds.
I thought her the Queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders.
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 had the doing of me by the look in her roguish black eye.
A gold watch she took from his
Pocket, and placed it right into my hand.
The very first thing I said was, "Bad luck to the black velvet band."
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
I thought her the Queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders.
Tied up with a black velvet band.
Before the judge and the jury, next morning I had to appear.
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
Relations, betrayed by the black velvet band."
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
I thought her the Queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders.
Tied up with a black velvet band.
So come all, you jolly young fellows.
And a warning take by me.
When you are out on the town, me lads.
Beware of the pretty colleens.
For they'll fill you with strong ale...
BABA!
Until you are unable to stand.
Then the very next thing that you′ll know, me lads.
You've landed in Van Diemen's Land.
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
I thought her the Queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders.
Tied up with a black velvet band.
