+Well, in a neat little town they call Belfast, \\ 
+apprentice to trade I was bound \\
+Many an hours sweet happiness, \\
+have I spent in that neat little town \\
+A sad misfortune came over me, \\
+which caused me to stray from the land \\
+Far away from my friends and relations,
+betrayed by the black velvet band \\
+
 \textit{[Chorus] \\
 Her eyes they shone like diamonds, \\
-you think she was queen of the land. \\
-With her hair thrown over her shoulder, \\
+I thought her the queen of the land. \\
+And her hair it hung over her shoulder, \\
 tied up with a black velvet band. \\}
 ~\\
 As I went walking down Broadway, \\
-not intending to stay very long, \\
-I met with this frolicksome damsel, \\
-as she came tripping along. \\
+meaning not long for to stay, \\
+When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid \\
+comes a tripping along the highway, \\
+She was both fair and handsome, \\
+her neck it was just like a swans \\
+And her hair it hung over her shoulder, \\
+tied up with a black velvet band 
 ~\\
 \textit{[Chorus] \\ }
 ~\\
-A watch she took from his pocket, \\
-and slipped it right into my hand, \\
-On the very first day that I met her, \\
-bad luck to the black velvet band. \\
+I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid \\
+And a gentleman passing us by \\
+Well, I knew she meant the doing of him \\
+By the look in her roguish black eye \\
+A gold watch she took from his pocket \\
+And placed it right into my hand \\
+And the very first thing that I said, was \\
+bad luck to the black velvet band \\
 ~\\
 \textit{[Chorus] \\ }
 ~\\
 Before the judge and jury, \\
-next morning we had to appear, \\
-A gentleman claimed his jewellery, \\
-and the case against us was clear, \\
+next morning I had to appear, \\
+The judge he says to me: \\
+"Young man, your case it is proven clear \\
+We'll give you seven years penal servitude, \\
+to be spent faraway from the land \\
+Far away from your friends and companions, \\
+betrayed by the black velvet band" 
 ~\\
 \textit{[Chorus] \\ }
 ~\\
-Seven long years transportation, \\
-right down to "Van Diemen's Land" \\
-Far away from my friends and companions, \\
-betrayed by the black velvet band, \\
+So come all you jolly young fellows \\
+a warning take by me \\
+When you are out on the town me lads, \\
+beware of them pretty colleens \\
+For they feed you with strong drink, \\
+"Oh yeah", 'til you are unable to stand \\
+And the very next thing that you'll know is \\
+you've landed in Van Diemens Land
 ~\\
 \textit{[Chorus] \\ }
