The Girl In The Blue Velvet Band

The Girl In The Blue Velvet Band - Mac Wiseman

One evening 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 seemed to expand

Her hair was so rich and so brilliant

Was entwined in a blue velvet band

We strolled down the street together

In my pocket she placed her small hand

She planted the evidence on me

The girl in the blue velvet band

I heard the scream of the siren

And the girl in the blue velvet band

Left me to face all the trouble

With a diamond that was worth ten grands

They sent me to san quintin for stealing

God knows I'm an innocent man

For the guilty one now she lies dying

The girl in the blue velvet band

Last night when bed-time was ringing

I'll still looking out the bars

I fancied I hear a voice calling

Far out on 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 prison

For the girl in the blue velvet band

When i get out now and ever

Leaving some farbist bland

I'll be furwell the warm frisco

And the girl in the blue velvet band
