Two versions of "The Blue Velvet Band", one sung by Hank Snow:


          On her cheeks was the first flush of nature,
          Her beauty it seemed to expand
          Her hair hung down in long tresses
          Tied back by a blue velvet band.

          The other by I'm not sure who:

          I was walking one morning in Frisco
          The hour was just about nine
          When I spied a beautiful maiden
          On the corner of 40 and Pine

          We walked down the street together
          In my pocket she placed her small hand
          She planted the evidence on me
          The girl in the blue velvet band.


          I know most if not all of the second version but I will have to look up the lyrics of the first.
