I love this song and the version I play is inspired by recordings of the Dubliners and Father, Son & Friends. Join in the chorus wherever you are! I KNOW you know it! 😉

𝓑𝓵𝓪𝓬𝓴 𝓥𝓮𝓵𝓿𝓮𝓽 𝓑𝓪𝓷𝓭 (traditional)
In a neat little town they call Belfast,
An apprentice to a trade I was bound.
And many's an hour's sweet happiness,
I spent in that neat little town.
'Til sad misfortune came over me,
And caused me to stray from the land,
Far away from my friends and relations,
And the girl with the black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds,
You'd think she was queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders,
Tied up with a black velvet band.
As I went strolling one evening,
Not intending to go very far,
I met with a frolicsome damesel,
Selling her trade at the bar.
A watch she took from a customer,
She slid it right into my hand.
Then the Watch came and put me in prison.
Bad luck to that black velvet band!
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds...
Next morning before judge and jury,
For trial I had to appear.
And the judge he says, "My young fellow,
"The case against you is quite clear!
Now seven long years is your sentence.
You're going to Van Diemen's Land,
Far away from your friends and relations,
For following the black velvet band!
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds...
So come all ye jolly young fellows,
I'd have you take warning from me.
Aye, whenever you're out on the liquor me boys,
Beware of those pretty colleens!
They'll fill you with whiskey and porter,
'Til you are not able to stand.
And the very next thing that you know, me boys,
You're off to Van Diemen's Land!
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds...
