THE VOLUME OF BLACK VELVET

* in clean small a city
they it apprentice to name,
to act me, jump and much soft a chance, hour me,
it to spend by, owing to the fact that clean small the city

(occasional Chorus)
their eye, which they like diamond to shine,
I to think they it queen country
and her hair on their shoulder to hang,
which in top with a black volume to bind.


A bad misfortune I which came me
veranliess to flee of the country
far from my friends and the relations beyond that,
to betray by the volume of black velvet.

I took schlendern Broadway
meant downwards and not a long time to remain,
if that which meets however me, a pretty suitable girl come, traipsing along the way.

It was imposing suitably
and, its approach which it was like Swan right-hand side,
and its hair hung on its shoulder,
in dependent top with a volume of black velvet.

I took schlendern with this pretty suitable girl,
and a Mister who leads us beyond that,
I knew that it meant to make of him
by the sight in their roguishschwarzauge.

Its guard, it of its bag took
and placed it enough in my hand
and was very first the thing which I said,
a bad chance with the volume of black velvet.

Before the following judge and mornings
should not appear to the jury, me;
The judge whom he says to me,
is proven clearly young man, your case him.

We give you far seven years
from the country control of punishment to spend;
Far from your friends and relations,
betrayed by the volume of black velvet.

* to come thus very if you merry young person conveys,
a-Warnungsnehmen by me,
if you outside on the city, which I,
to make to attention young man pretty the colleens.

You with strong drink, my young men you treat,
until you are not with same being;
And very first the thing which you know,
is you is landed in the country Van Damiens.
