Black Velvet Band (Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney Mac Kenna, Ciaran Bourke, John Sheehan) C (Chorus) In a neat little town they call Belfast F G But before the Judge and the Jury Apprenticed to trade I was bound Next morning I had to appear C Am And the judge he says to me "Young man, And many an hour of sweet happiness Your case it is proven and clear F G C I've I spent in that neat little town I'll give you seven years penal servitude To be spent far away from the land But a sad misfortune's come over me Far away from your friends and companions" Which caused me to stray from the land Betrayed by the black velvet band Far away from me friends and companions Betrayed by the black velvet band (Chorus) Chorus: So come all you jolly young fellows C A warning take from me Her eyes they shone like diamonds And if you go out on the town, me boys, F G Beware of the pretty Colleens I thought her the queen of the land C Am And her hair hung over her shoulder They'll feed you with strong drink, my lads, F G C 'Til you are unable to stand Tied up with a black velvet band And the very first thing that you'll know is You've landed in Van Diemen’s Land I took a stroll down Broadway Intending not long for to stay C When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid Her eyes they shone like diamonds Come traipsing along the highway F G I thought she was queen of the land She was both fair and handsome C Am Her neck it was white like a swan Now I'm far from my friends and companions And her hair hung down from her shoulders F G C Held up with a black velvet band Betrayed by the black velvet band C F G Am (Chorus) I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid Met a gentleman as he passed by Sure, I knew she meant the doing of him By the look in her roguish black eye BARITONE A gold watch she took from his pocket C F G Am And placed it right into my hand And the very first thing that I said was "What's this?" to the black velvet band 5 .

By Popular Demand Lyrics – By Popular Demand Finnegan's Wake (Trad.) Tim Finnegan lived in Watling St., a gentleman Irish mighty odd, He had a brogue both rich and sweet, and to rise in the world he carried a hod. Tim had a sort of a tippler's way, with a love for the liquor poor Tim was born To help him on his work each day, he'd a drop of the craytur every morn. Chorus: Whack fol-de-da now, dance to your partners, welt the floor, yer trotters shake, Wasn't it the truth I told ye, lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake. One morning Tim was rather full, his head felt heavy which made him shake, Fell off a ladder and he broke his skull, and they carried him home his corpse to wake, They wrapped him up in a nice clean sheet and laid him out upon the bed, With a barrel of whiskey at his feet and a bucket of porter at his head. Chorus: The guests assembled at the wake, when Mrs. Finnegan called for Lunch, First she brought them tea and cake, pipes, tobacco, and brandy punch. Then the Widow Malone began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see? "Tim mavourneen, why did ye die?" "Hould yer gob." said Molly Magee. Chorus: Then Molly Malone takes up the job; "Ah Biddy" says she, "you're wrong I'm sure." Biddy fetched her a belt in the gob that left her sprawling on the floor. Civil war did then engage, woman to woman and man to man, Shillelagh law was all the rage and a row and a ruction soon began.

And I can’t tell you why They lived in a house For the Season’s spinning round again After all this time of being alone about a mile down the way And the years keep rollin’ by We can love one another Feel for each other, from now on His dad was a big man and It seems like I’ve been here before Feel so good I can hardly stand it worked as a miner But I can’t remember when and Billy grew more to be like him each day, I got this funny feeling I’ve got a never ending love for you ‘Cause every boy’s dream That we’ll all be together again From now on that’s all I wanna do was to work with his father No straight lines make up my life From the first time we met I knew In the mines that ran under the bay.
