In a neat little town they call Prockton

Far away from my friends and companions
C D G
To follow the black velvet band

Verse 2:
G*
As I as out strolling one evening
D*
Not intending to stay very long
G G/F# Em
I met a frolicsome damsel
C D G
As she came tripping along

A watch she pulled out her pocket
D*
And slipped it right into my hand
G G/F# Em
On the very first night that I met her
C D G
Bad luck to the black velvet band
Chorus:
G
Her eyes, they shone like the diamond

You'd think she was queen of the land
G G/F# Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up in a black velvet band
Verse 3:
G*
Before judge and jury next morning
D*
Both of us did appear
G G/F# Em
A gentleman claimed his jewelry
C D G
And the case against us was clear

Now seven long years transportation
D*
Right down to Van Dieman's land
G G/F# Em
Far away from my friends and companions
C D G
To follow this black velvet band

So come all you jolly young fellows

You've landed in Van Dieman's Land
