Bilingual
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
With her hair flung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band
As I went walking down Broadway
Not intending to stay very long
I met with this frolicsome damsel
As she came tripping along
Oh, what she pulled out of her pocket
And slipped it right into me hand
On the very first day that I met her
Bad luck to her black velvet band
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
With her hair flung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band
For judge and jury next morning
Both of us did appear
A gentleman claimed his jewelry
And the case against us was clear
Seven long years transportation
Right on down to Van Diemen's Land
Far away from my friends and companions
To follow the black velvet band
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
With her hair flung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
You'd think she was queen of the land
With her hair flung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band
