Tied up with a black velvet band

Come a -trippin' along the highway.

And her hair hung over her shoulder

Tied up with a black velvet band

Tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid

By the look in her roguish black eye
A gold watch she took from his pocket

Her eyes is shone like diamonds,
Tied up with a black velvet band.
