letra de the black velvet band - high kings
in a neat little town they call belfast
apprenticed to trade i was bound
oh many an hour’s sweet happiness
have i spent in that neat little town
but a sad misfortune came over me
which caused me to stray from the land
far away from my friends and relations
betrayed by the black velvet band
chorus (after each verse):
her eyes, they shone like diamonds
i thought her the queen of the land
and her hair, it hung over her shoulder
tied up with a black velvet band
i took a stroll down broadway
oh meaning not long for to stay
when who should i meet but this pretty fair maid
come a-traipsing along the highway
she was both fair and handsome
her neck, it was just like a swan’s
and her hair, it hung over her shoulder
tied up with a black velvet band
(chorus)
so i took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
and a gentleman, p-ssing us by
oh i knew that she meant the undoing of him
by the look in her roguish black eye
a gold watch she took from his pocket
and slipped it right into my hand
and the very first thing that i said was
“bad cess to the black velvet band”
(chorus)
seven long years’ penal servitude
i spent down in van dieman’s land
far away from my friends and relations
betrayed by the black velvet band
(chorus 2x)
