Black Velvet Band:The Irish Rovers.
Album - The Irish Rovers In Australia - 1976.
G
In a neat little town they call Belfast,
D
apprenticed to trade I was bound.
G Em
And many an hour of sweet happiness,
C D G
I spent in that neat little town..
G
Till bad misfortune came over me and caused me
D
to stray from the land.
G Em
Far away from me friends and rela..ions
C D G
be-trayed by the Black Velvet Band.
CHORUS:
G
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
D
You'd think she was Queen of the Land.
G Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder,
C D G
tied up with a Black Velvet Band.
G
Well, I went out strolling one evening,
D
not meaning to go very far..
G Em
When I met with a ficklesome dam..sel,
C D G
she was sellin' her trade in the bar.
G
When a watch she took from a customer,
D
and slipped it right into me hand..
G Em
And the law came and put me in pris..on,
C D G
bad luck to her Black Velvet Band.
G
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
D
You'd think she was Queen of the Land.
G Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder,
C D G
tied up with a Black Velvet Band.
G
This mornin' before judge and jury,
G D
for a trial,I had to ap..pear.
G Em
then the judge he says, 'Me young fellow,
C D G
the case against you is quite clear.
G
And seven long years is your sentence,
D
you're going to Van Daemons Land.
G Em
Far a-way from your friends and relat..ions
C D G
Be-trayed the Black Velvet Band.'
G
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
D
You'd think she was Queen of the Land.
G Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder,
C D G
tied up with a Black Velvet Band.
G
So, come all ye jolly young fellows,
G D
I'll have you take warnin' by me.
G Em
and when..ever you're out on the liquor, me lads,
C D G
be-ware of the pretty Col-leens.
G
For they'll fill you with whiskey and porter,
D
till you are not able to stand.
G Em
And the very next thing that you know, me lads,
C D G
you've landed in Van Daemon's Land.
G
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
D
You'd think she was Queen of the Land.
G Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder,
C D G
tied up with a Black Velvet Band.
G
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
D
You'd think she was Queen of the Land.
G Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder,
C D G
tied up with a Black Velvet Band.
