The Blue Velvet Band
If you listen a story I'll tell you Of a girl who once lived in this land A girl who was once my sweetheart She was know as The Blue Velvet Band
On her cheeks was the first flush of nature Her beauty, it seemed to expand Her hair hung down in long tresses Tied back with a blue velvet band
I can still see those tears as we parted Of my heart broken Blue Velvet Band As I left I told her I'd never Come back to my old home again
Five years on the wide open spaces Was all that my poor heart could stand Every night as I lay on my pillow Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band
Then one night as I lay down dreaming Of home and poor mother and dad Like a flash by my bedside was standing The form of my Blue Velvet Band
I started next day for my darling Just to go back and make her my bride But as I reached the old country depot They told my my sweet heart has died
They laid her to rest in the churchyard Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land On her finger the ring I had bought her On her head was a blue velvet band
