Verse 1
D 
beautiful town they called Belfast
A friend is in trade I was found,
And beneath an hour of
sweet happiness,
Have I spent in that neatest little town.
A sad misfortune came over me,
Which caused me to stray from the land,
Far away from me friends
and relations,
Because of a black velvet band

I took a stroll down Broadway,
not meaning it to go very far
When who should I meet
but this pretty fair maid
Was selling her trade in a bar
A gold watch she took from a customer
And slipped it right into me hand
And I was arrested and put in jail
Instead of a black velvet band
