GUEST,Marco Folklore: Van Diemen's Land (47) RE: Folklore: Van Dieman's Land 12 Nov 04

So (let me get this straight) in the song Black Velvet Band, the gal is neither trippin down the highway nor trapsin down the highway, but rather trapan down the highway?

To seduce or ensnare makes sense in that lyric.

Thanks for the info about Van Diemen's Land being a part of Australia; now I know the poor lad was exiled to a penal colony. Next question, who was Van Diemen?
