Her eyes they shone like the diamonds.
                                 E5
You'd think she was Queen of the Land.
        A5                  F#5
And her hair hung over her shoulder,
     D5         E5            A5
tied up with a Black Velvet Band.

In a neat little town they call Belfast,
                           E5
apprenticed to trade I was bound.
    A5                          F#5
And many an hour of sweet happiness,
  D5             E5           A5
I spent in that neat little town..
A5
Till bad misfortune came over me and caused me
                  E5
to stray from the land.
     A5                             F#5
Far away from me friends and rela..ions I
D5            E5            A5
followed the Black Velvet Band.

Well, I went out strolling one evening, not
                   E5
meaning to go very far..
       A5                          F#5
When I met with a ficklesome dam..sel, she was
D5          E5            A5
plying her trade in the bar.
A5
When a watch she took from a customer, and
                         E5
slipped it right into me hand..
        A5                            F#5
And the law came and put me in pris..on, bad
D5           E5            A5
luck to her Black Velvet Band.

This mornin' before judge and jury, for a trial,
             E5
I had to ap..pear.
        A5                        F#5
And the judge he says, 'Me young fellow, the
D5            E5            A5
case against you is quite clear.
A5
And seven long years is your sentence, you're
                     E5
going to Van Daemons Land.
     A5                                F#5
Far away from your friends and relat..ions and
D5          E5            A5
follow the Black Velvet Band.'

So, come all ye jolly young fellows, I'll have you
                  E5
take warnin' from me.
      A5                    F#5
When..ever you're into the liquor, me lads,
  D5           E5      A5
beware of the pretty Colleen.
A5
For they'll fill you with whiskey and porter, till you
                E5
are not able to stand.
        A5                                 F#5
And the very next thing that you know, me lads, you've
D5         E5            A5
landed in Van Daemon's Land.
