The Girl In The Blue Velvet Band |
One night while out for a ramble the hour was just about nine |
I met a young maiden in Frisco on the corner of Cherry and Pine |
On her face there was beauty of nature and her eyes just seemed to expand |
Her hair was so rich and so brilliant entwined in a blue velvet band |
(banjo) |
We strolled down the long street together in my pocket she placed her small hand |
Planted the evidence on me the girl in the blue velvet band |
Then I heard the scream of the siren and the girl in the blue velvet band |
She left me to face all the trouble with a diamond that was worth two grand |
(fiddle) |
They sent me to San Quintin for stealing and God knows I’m an innocent man |
For the guilty one now she lies dying that girl in the blue velvet band |
I’ll be out in a year then I’m leaving but I’ll carry the name of a man |
Who spent ten years in this prison for the girl in the blue velvet band |
(guitar — dobro) |
Last night when bed-time was ringing I was standing close to the bars |
I fancied I could hear a voice calling far out in the ocean of stars |
I’ll be out in a year then I’m leaving but I’ll carry the name of a man |
Who spent ten years in this prison for the girl in the blue velvet band |
