Dropkick Murphys lyrics : "black velvet band"

In a neat little town they call Boston
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
And many an hour's 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


Well, I was out strolling one evening
Not intending to stay very long
When I met with a pretty young damsel

Who was selling her trade in the bar.
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
