2] I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid,
and a gentleman passing us by
Well I knew she meant the doing of him,
by the look in her roguish black eye
goldwatch she took from his pocket
and placed it right in to my hand
And the very first thing that I said was
bad `luck to the Black Velvet Band Refrein
3] Before the judge and the jury,
next morning I had to appear
The judge he says to me: "Young man,
your case it is proven clear
We'll give you seven years penal servitude,
to be spent faraway from the land
Far away from your friends and relations,
betrayed by the Black Velvet Band" Refrein
4] So come all you jolly young fellows
a warning take by me
When you are out on the town me lads,
beware of them pretty colleens
For they feed you with strong drink, "me lads",
'til you are unable to stand
And the very first thing that you'll know is
you've landed in Van Diemens Land Refrein
