[00:00.00]The Blue Velvet Band - Hank Snow
[00:29.54]If you listen a story I＇ll tell you
[00:32.79]
[00:34.22]Of a girl who once lived in this land
[00:36.97]
[00:39.02]A girl who once was my sweetheart
[00:41.77]
[00:44.08]She was known as the Blue Velvet Band
[00:46.38]
[00:49.00]On her cheeks was the first flush of nature
[00:51.76]
[00:54.74]Her beauty it seemed to expand
[00:58.05]
[01:00.18]Her hair hung down in long tresses
[01:02.11]
[01:03.99]Tied back with a blue velvet band
[01:06.48]I can still see those tears as we parted
[01:10.35]
[01:13.60]Of my heart broken blue velvet band
[01:15.78]
[01:17.96]As I left her I told her
[01:20.77]I＇ll never come back to my home again
[01:24.20]
[01:27.89]Five years in the wide open spaces
[01:34.43]Was all that my poor heart could stand
[01:36.43]
[01:37.68]Every night as I lay on my pillow
[01:39.86]
[01:42.30]I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band
[01:44.92]Then one night as I lay down dreaming
[01:49.84]Of home and poor mother and dad
[01:53.41]
[01:57.33]Like a flash by my bedside was standing
[01:59.71]
[02:01.46]The form of my Blue Velvet Band
[02:04.26]
[02:06.50]I started next day for my darling
[02:08.94]
[02:11.07]Just to go back and make her my bride
[02:14.00]
[02:15.87]But as I reached the old country depot
[02:18.49]
[02:20.74]They told me my sweetheart had died
[02:23.11]
[02:25.29]They laid her to rest in the churchyard
[02:28.48]
[02:29.97]Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land
[02:32.47]
[02:34.90]On her finger was the ring I had bought her
[02:38.02]
[02:40.20]On her head was a blue velvet band
