BLACK LEATHER BAND

In a neat little town called Gamora
In a case of distress I was found
And many's the hour of happiness
I spent there while I was tied down

Chorus:
Oh, the moonlight gleamed off her handcuffs
As she gave me the back of her hand
And the whip cracked down as I lay there
Tied up with her black leather band

I tried my best for to please her
As I fed her grapes and I fanned
For only the wealthiest slaves get the pleasure
of wearing her black leather band
Chorus

She liked to go strolling down Broadway
On a short leash I couldn't go far
Reined in by that frolicsome damsel
With a tattoo and a dagger shaped scar
Chorus

I woke one day from my lust for her
And the laces I took from me hand
When she came, I put her in position
Tied up with her own leather band
Chorus

So come ' all you randy young fellows
When a woman takes advantage of ye
Enjoy it as long as you like, me lads
Then turn her right over your knee
Chorus

Well, Mimosa, Looks like MMario beat me to it...

I was in class all day... but you got the lyrics, I see...

On the fourth verse, instead of saying "when she came, I put her in position", I usually substitute "and then I put her in position"... a little more approprite for playing it in public...


Have fun with it!

As with all folk songs everywhere, I learned a couple of lines differently... take your choice

Verse one line two I learned as "By a cruel mistress i was bound"

Verse two line three I learned as "...only best behaved slaves..."
