Graham) Subject: THE GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND THE GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND Recorded by Doc Watson Written by Cliff Carlisle and Mel Foree One [C] night while [G] out for a [C] ramble The [F] hour was just about [C] nine I [F] met a young maiden in [C] 'Frisco On the corner of [G] Cherry and [C] Pine. On her face there was beauty of nature And in it, her eyes seem to expand Her hair was so rich and so brilliant Entwined in a BLUE VELVET BAND. We strolled down the long street together In my pocket she placed a small hand Planted the evidence on me That GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND. Then I heard the wild scream of the sirens And the GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND She left me to face all the troubles With a diamond that was worth ten grand. They sent me to San Quenton for stealin' And God knows I'm an innocent man For the guilty one now she lies dyin' That GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND. CHORUS I'll be out in a year then I'm leavin' But I'll carry the name of a man Who spent ten years in this prison For THE GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND. Last night while bedtime was ringin' I was standin' close to the bars I fancied I could hear her voice callin' >From far out on the ocean of stars. REPEAT CHORUS |
