Dropkick Murphys - Black Velvet Band Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In a neat little town they call Brockton
  • Apprenticed to trade I was bound
  • And many an hour of 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
  • As I was strolling one evening
  • Not intending to stay very long
  • I met with a poor little damsel
  • As she came trippin along
  • Once she pulled out of parking
  • And slipped it right into my hand
  • The very first night that I met her
  • 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 in 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 in a black velvet band
  • So come all you jolly young fellows
  • I'll have you take warning by me
  • Whenever you're out on the liquor
  • Beware of the pretty colleen
  • She'll fill you with whiskey and polar
  • Until you're not able to stand
  • And the very next thing that you know
  • You've landed in Van Diemen's land
  • 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 in a black velvet band
  • BLACK VELVET BAND!
