Sabbath-Black Velvet Band lyrics

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds
You'd think she was Queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
And many an hours sweet happiness
I spent in that neat little town
Till bad misfortune came o'er me
That caused me to stray from the land
Far away from me friends and relations
To follow that 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 shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Well I was out strolling one evening
Not meaning to stray very far
When I met with a pretty young damsel
Who was selling her trade in the bar
When a watch she took from a custo
mer
And slipped it right into my
hand Then the law came and put me in prison
Bad luck to the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like the diam
onds You'd think she was Queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoul
der
Tied up with a black velvet
