The Blue Velvet Band |
one night while out for a ramble |
the hour was just about 9 |
I met a young Maiden in Frisco |
on the corner of gleary and Pine |
on her face there was beauty of nature |
and her eyes they seem to expand |
with hair so rich and so brilliant |
entwined in a blue velvet band |
we strolled 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 heard the scream of the sirens |
and the girl in the blue velvet band |
she left me to face all the trouble |
For a diamond that’s worth 10 grand |
at night when the bedtime was ringing |
standing close to the bar |
I fancy I heard a voice calling |
from Out on the Ocean so far |
they sent me to San Quentin for stealing |
God knows I’m an innocent man |
but the guilty one, now she lies dying |
the girl in the blue velvet band |
well I’ll be out in a year and I’m leaving |
and I’ll carry the name of a man |
that served 10 years in prison |
for the girl in the blue velvet band |
and when I get out I’ll Endeavor |
to live in some other land |
and I’ll Bid Farewell to Old Frisco |
and the girl in the blue velvet band |
