Black Velvet Band
G
Chorus:
 
	Her eyes they shone like the diamonds
	you'd think she was queen of the land 
	with her hair thrown over her shoulder
	tied up with a black velvet band
		

	As I went walking down Broadway 
	not intending to stay very long 	     (But he did)
	I met with a frollicksome damsel
	as she came a-tripping along 	(Watch your step)

Chorus:

	A watch she pulled from her pocket 
	and slipped it right into my hand      (Hey nice watch)
	from the very first day that I met her
	bad luck from the black velvet band

Chorus:

	Before Judge and jury next morning
	both of us did appear      (Presto... Poof!)
	a gentleman claimed his jewelry
	the case against us was quite clear  (We the members of the Jury find the defendant...)

Chorus:

	Seven long years transportation
	right down to Van Diamonds land    (That's Irish for Australia)
	far away from my friends and relations
	to follow the black velvet band     (what a dork)
