Well in a neat little town they called Belfast,
And [C] I'm afraid I [D] was found.
[G] Many an hour's sweet happiness
Have I spent in that neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me,
Which [C] tossed me straight [D] from the land.
[G] Away from my friends and relation,
[D] Betrayed by the black [G]-clad band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
I thought [C] her the queen [D] of the land.
[G] And her hair in some [D] holes were her [G] shoulder,
[D] Tied up with a black [G] velvet band.
I thought to stroll down Broadway,
Leaving [C] the long [D]-forgotten stage.
[G] When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid,
[D] Come a-traveling along [G] the highway.
She was both fair and handsome,
Her neck it [C] was just [D] like a swan's,
[G] And her hair is hung over her shoulder,
[D] Tied up with a black velvet [G] band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
I thought her the queen [D] of the land.
And [G] her hair is hung over her shoulder,
[D] Tied up with [G]
a pretty fair maid,
And a gentleman [C] [D] passing us by.
[G] What I knew she meant,
The doing of him by [D] the look,
In her rubbish [G] black eye.
A gold watch she tucked on his pocket,
And placed it [C] right into [D] my hand.
[G] And the very first thing that I said,
Was, [D] access to [G] the black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
I thought her [C] the queen [D] of the land.
And her hair is hung over her shoulder,
Tied up [G] with a black velvet band.
Before the judge and the jury,
Next morning [C] I had [D] to appear.
The judge, he says to me,
Young man, your case is proven [G]
clear.
In seven years, penance and servitude,
To be spent [E] far away [D] from the land.
[G] Far away from your friends and companions,
[D] Betrayed by the black [G] velvet band.
