And their hair hung over our shoulders
C

Tied up with a black velvet bandit
Well, I took us to Rowell down Broadway
C

Who came a -skippin' along
And I got what she took from her pocket
G

On the very first day that I met her,
C

I then looked at a black velvet bandit
And her eyes they shone like diamonds,
G

And her hair hung over her shoulders,
C

tied up with a black velvet bandit
And before the judge and the jury,

And a gentleman claimed his jewellery,

Far away from my friends and relations

And her hair hung over her shoulders
