Stewie Mudcat Australia-New Zealand Songbook (1356* d) RE: Rise Up Mudcat Songbook - Australia 16 Nov 20

BLACK VELVET BAND
(Anon)

It was the time for leaving
An emigrant I was bound
To say farewell to my true love
And dear old London town

Chorus:
Her eyes they shine like diamonds
I took hold of her hand
Her hair hung down her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band

I knew not when I’d see her
When I bade her adieu
For I was bound for New Zealand
To see my contract through

I’m saving every penny
And silver to be found
I’ll latch on to every sovereign
That reaches Auckland town

And when I’m rich and proper
And own a store in town
I’ll send back home for my true love
And then I’ll settle down
