Song Lyrics
i took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
and many an hour sweet happiness
by the look in her roguish black eye
I thought her the queen of the land, we ll give you seven years penal servitude, it was just like a swan
Tied up with a black velvet band, as sad misfortune came over me which caused me to stray from the land, and many an hour sweet happiness
it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band, her eyes they shown like diamonds, tied up with a black velvet band
Bad cess to the black velvet band, i took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
I took a stroll down broadway, and placed it right into my hand
In a neat little town they called belfast, so come all you jolly young fellows
tied up with a black velvet band
Her eyes they shown like diamonds, tied up with a black velvet band, and her hair
Her eyes they shown like diamonds, beware of the pretty colleens
And the very first thing that you ll know is you ve landed in van diemens land, i knew she meant the doing of him
Apprentice to trade i was bound, tied up with a black velvet band
As sad misfortune came over me which caused me to stray from the land, her eyes they shown like diamonds, i knew she meant the doing of him
Tied up with a black velvet band, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band, i took a stroll down broadway
and many an hour sweet happiness
it hung over her shoulder
And her hair, and many an hour sweet happiness
Bad cess to the black velvet band, and placed it right into my hand Dubliners, to be spent far away from the land
Till you are unable to stand, and her hair Black, have i spent in that neat little town
her eyes they shown like diamonds
come a-traipsing along the highway
She was both fair and handsome, tied up with a black velvet band
and the very first thing that i said
A gold watch she took from his pocket, i thought her the queen of the land Dubliners, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band, i had to appear, and her hair
meaning not long for to stay
I thought her the queen of the land, it hung over her shoulder
and her hair
And the very first thing that i said, her eyes they shown like diamonds
It was just like a swan, her eyes they shown like diamonds
