Ian, You look like the resident "Black Velvet Band" expert, so I'll pose this question to you. Is there any meaning to the 'black velvet band' other than the obvious hair ornament? I ask because in the version that I listen to, it says something like "For 7 long years is your sentence, You're going to Van Deiman's land, Far away from your friends and relations, To follow the black velvet band." The last passage is what is confusing- to follow? I suspected at one point it referred to the Black and Tans, but am confused. Any help appreciated. Cathleen-USA ctcharb@yahoo.com
