[00:00.00]The Black Velvet Band - Lehman Engel (莱曼·恩格尔)
[00:04.68]In a neat little town they call Belfast
[00:08.71]Apprentice to trade I was bound
[00:12.77]And many's an hour's tour
[00:16.87]I spent in that neat little town
[00:21.05]A sad misfortune came over me
[00:25.29]But caused me to stray from the land
[00:29.06]Far away from my friends and relations
[00:33.28]Betrayed by the black velvet band
[00:37.33]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[00:41.31]I thought her the queen of the land
[00:45.20]And her hair it hung over her shoulder
[00:49.55]Tied up with a black velvet band
[00:53.70]As I took a stroll down broad way
[00:57.71]Meaning not long for to stay
[01:01.86]When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
[01:05.89]Comes a tripping along the highway
[01:09.93]She was both fair and handsome
[01:14.07]Her neck it was just like a swans
[01:17.83]And her hair it hung over her shoulder
[01:22.29]Tied up with a black velvet band
[01:26.34]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[01:30.46]I thought her the queen of the land
[01:34.19]And her hair it hung over her shoulder
[01:38.58]Tied up with a black velvet band
[01:51.03]I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
[01:55.06]And a gentleman passing us by
[01:59.02]Well I knew she meant the doing of him
[02:03.17]By the look in her roguish black eye
[02:07.23]A gold watch she took from his pocket
[02:11.33]And placed it right in to my hand
[02:15.41]And the very first thing that I said was
[02:19.50]But luck to the black velvet band
[02:23.70]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[02:27.64]I thought her the queen of the land
[02:31.52]And her hair it hung over her shoulder
[02:35.89]Tied up with a black velvet band
[02:40.05]Before the judge and the jury
[02:42.05]Next morning the bowl to fast then of appear
[02:48.02]And gentlemen playing his jugular
[02:52.28]He says gone to your it is clear
[02:56.43]We'll give you seven long years penetration
[03:00.41]Re down down to founded with the land
[03:04.49]Far away from your friends and companions
[03:08.57]Betrayed by the black velvet band
[03:12.63]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[03:16.76]You swear her the queen of the land
[03:20.51]And her hair it hung over her shoulder
[03:24.95]Tied up with a black velvet band
