Hasil Adkins - Blue Velvet Band lyrics

One night while out for a ramble The hour was just about nine I met a young madam in Bristol On the corner of Gilby and Pine On her face was beauty unmeasured In the eyes, they seemed to expand With her hair so luscious, so gracious (?) blue velvet band Down the street we strolled together In my pocket she placed up her hand She planted the evidence on me The girl in the blue velvet band (?) Standing close to the bar I think I hear the boys calling For out in the ocean I'll starve I'll be out in a year, I'm leaving But I carry the name of a man (?) And a girl in the blue velvet band
