C C C G
In a neat little town they call Belfast, apprenticed to trade I was bound
C Am F G C
And many's the hour of sweet happiness, I spent in that neat little town
C C C G
Till sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to stray from the land
C Am F G C
Far away from me friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
C C C G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land
C Am F G C
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
C C C G
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us by
C Am F G C
I knew she meant the undoing of me, by the look in her roguish black eye
C C C G
A gold watch she took from his pocket, and she placed it right into me hand
C Am F G C
And the very first thing that I thought was, bad luck to the black velvet band
C C C G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land
C Am F G C
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
C C C G
Now before a judge and a jury, next morning I had to appear
C Am F G C
Oh the judge he said to me "Young man, your case is proven clear
C C C G
We'll give you seven years' penal servitude, to be spent far away from the land.
C Am F G C
Far away from your friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
C C C G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land
C Am F G C
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
C C C G
So come all ye jolly young fellows, and a warning take by me
C Am F G C
For when you are out on the town me lads, beware of them pretty colleens
C C C G
For they'll feed you with strong ale "More Yeah", until you are unable to stand
C Am F G C
And the very next thing that you know me lads, is you've landed in Van Diemen's Land
C C C G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land
C Am F G C
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
C C C G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land
C Am F G C
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet
