It was

in the city of London
D

To apprenticeship I was bound

And many a happy hour

I've spent in that wonderful town
G

One day as I went strolling down
D

A pretty little young maiden
A

I happened by mere chance to meet
G

Her eyes, shone like diamonds,
D

The hair that hung down to her shoulders
A

Was tied with a black velvet band.

A gentleman passed us by
D

I could see she was up to some mischief

By the look in her lovely dark eye
D

Quickly placed into my hand
D

Then I was charged by a copper
A

Bad luck from that black velvet band
D

They called her the pride of the land
D

The hair that hung down to her shoulders

And a girl with a black velvet band

Her eyes they shone like diamonds

The hair that hung down to her shoulders
