In a neat little town they call Belfast,

Apprentice to trade I was bound,

And many an hour's sweet happiness

A sad misfortune came over me
G

Far away from me friends
D
G
Betrayed by the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
C
D
I thought her the queen of the land
G
Em
And her hair it hung over her shoulders
D
G
Tied up with a black velvet band
C
I took a stroll down Broadway
G
C
D
Meaning not long for to stay
Em
But this pretty fair maid
D

Comes a -trippin' along the highway

G
I took a stroll with this fair maid
C
D
And a gentleman passing us by
G
Well I knew that she meant
D
G
By the look in her roguish black eye
A gold watch she took from his pocket
C
D
And placed it right in to my hand
G
D
Em
And the very first thing that I said was
D
G
Bad luck to the black velvet band
C

Her eyes they shone like diamonds

I thought her the queen of the land

And her hair hung over her shoulders

Before the judge and the jury,

To be spent far away from the land
G
Far away from your friends

A warning take by me
G

Till you are unable to stand
