[00:29.15]If you listen a story I＇ll tell you
[00:33.83]Of a girl who once lived in this land
[00:38.63]A girl who once was my sweetheart
[00:43.69]She was known as the Blue Velvet Band
[00:48.61]On her cheeks was the first flush of nature
[00:54.35]Her beauty it seemed to expand
[00:59.79]Her hair hung down in long tresses
[01:03.60]Tied back with a blue velvet band
[01:06.09]I can still see those tears as we parted
[01:13.21]Of my heart broken blue velvet band
[01:17.57]As I left her I told her
[01:20.38]I＇ll never come back to my home again
[01:27.50]Five years in the wide open spaces
[01:34.04]Was all that my poor heart could stand
[01:37.29]Every night as I lay on my pillow
[01:41.91]I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band
[01:44.53]Then one night as I lay down dreaming
[01:49.45]Of home and poor mother and dad
[01:56.94]Like a flash by my bedside was standing
[02:01.07]The form of my Blue Velvet Band
[02:06.11]I started next day for my darling
[02:10.68]Just to go back and make her my bride
[02:15.48]But as I reached the old country depot
[02:20.35]They told me my sweetheart had died
[02:24.90]They laid her to rest in the churchyard
[02:29.58]Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land
[02:34.51]On her finger was the ring I had bought her
[02:39.81]On her head was a blue velvet band
