In a neat little town
called Belfast,

Apprentice to trade I was bound.

And many an hour's sweet happiness

I spent in that neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me,

Which caused me to stray from the land.

Far away from my friends
D

C

G
Betrayed by the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
D
I thought her the queen of the land
Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder
C
D
Tied up with a black velvet band
G
I took a stroll down Broadway,
D
Meaning not long far to stay,
G
D
When who should I meet
Em
but this pretty fair maid,
C
D
Come a -trippin' along the highway.

She was both fair and handsome,
D
Her neck it was just like a swan,
G

And her hair hung over her shoulder

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
D
Met a gentleman passing us by
G

Em
I knew that she meant the doing of him
C
D

By the look in her roguish black eye
A gold watch she took from his pocket
D
And placed it right into my hand
G
D
Em
And the very first thing that I said
C

Was, bad luck to the black velvet band
C
Her eyes they shone like diamonds

I thought her the queen of the land
