[00:00.000]The Black Velvet Band (2004 Remaster) - Slim Dusty/Barry Thornton
[00:05.780]In a neat little town they call Belfast
[00:09.660]Apprenticed to trade I was bound
[00:13.190]Many an hours sweet happiness
[00:16.910]Have I spent in that neat little town
[00:20.780]I took a stroll down Broadway
[00:24.910]Meaning not long for to stay
[00:28.450]When who should I meet but a pretty fair maid
[00:32.060]Coming along the pathway
[00:36.340]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[00:40.130]I thought her the pride of the land
[00:43.900]Her hair it hung down in long tresses
[00:47.680]Tied up with the black velvet band
[00:55.520]I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
[01:00.430]And a gentleman passing us by
[01:04.170]I could see that she meant a doing of him
[01:07.940]By the look in her lovely black eyes
[01:11.700]His watch she took from his pocket
[01:15.210]And slyly placed it in my hand
[01:19.290]I was taken in charge by a copper
[01:23.130]Bad luck from the black velvet band
[01:26.900]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[01:31.150]I thought her the pride of the land
[01:34.790]Her hair it hung down in long tresses
[01:38.490]Tied up with the black velvet band
[01:47.610]Before the Lord Mayor I was taken
[01:51.230]"Your case Sir I plainly can see
[01:54.900]And if I'm not greatly mistaken
[01:58.830]You're bound far over the sea"
[02:02.690]It's over the dark and blue ocean
[02:06.560]Far away to Van Diemens Land
[02:10.440]Far away from my friends and relations
[02:14.000]Betrayed by the black velvet band
[02:18.140]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[02:22.140]I thought her the pride of the land
[02:25.930]Her hair it hung down in long tresses
[02:29.750]Tied up with the black velvet band
