An apprentice to I was bound,
And the hour of sweet happiness
I spent in neat little town.

v.2 Til a sad came over me,
and forced me to from the land,
far away my friends and relations
Betrayed by the velvet band

Her eyes they shone like the
You'd she was queen of the land,
and her hung over her shoulder,
tied up a black velvet band

v.3 As I went out one evening,
not intending to stray far
I met a frolicsome damsel
Plying her in the bar

v.4 A gold watch she clipped a customer
and placed it into my hand
On the very day that I met her
Bad to the black velvet band

v.5 To judge and jury morning
for trial I had to
and the judge he said my young
the case against you is quite

v.6 I you seven years penal servitude
To be spent far away the land
Far from your friends and relations
going to *VanDamiens land

v.7 So come all you jolly fellows
A warning by me
When ever out on the liquor

until not able to stand
and the very next thing you know, me lads
