Thread Name: Lyr Add: Blue Velvet Band
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Blue Velvet Band
It had a tune all its own and did not sound like the tune to "The Black Velvet Band". She also has a song called "The Answer To The Blue Velvet Band" which is song to the tune of "The Red River Valley" that seems to be about a woman's death and her letting her beau know that she was true despite what he may have thought. I am unsure if it is connected to the song that I typed in because in that one the man seemed to have wonderlust and left his town and then became homesick and had a premonition that something had happened to his girlfriend. My mom has a couple of other songs which I am not sure they have in the listings one is "Jack and Joe" which has the line "Don't Forget to give my Love to Nell". Also she has one called "Missing in Action" which is about a soldier who is presumed dead but was captured by the enemy and he escapes. He returns home to his home and discover from the pictures in his home that his wife got a letter saying he died and he sees that she has married again because he sees a wedding picture. He decides she never need know he returned. I might type that one in if it permitted to do so. Is there the lyrics to "My Daddy's Just A Picture" anywhere on here because I heard this song recently and it is a beautiful song and my Mom loves to sing sad songs.
