Hasil Adkins Blue Velvet Band
One night while out for a ramble
The hour was just about nine
I met a young madam in Bristol
On the corner of Gilby and Pine
On her face was beauty unmeasured
In the eyes, they seemed to expand
With her hair so luscious, so gracious
(?) blue velvet band
Down the street we strolled together
In my pocket she placed up her hand
She planted the evidence on me
The girl in the blue velvet band
(?)
Standing close to the bar
I think I hear the boys calling
For out in the ocean I'll starve
I'll be out in a year, I'm leaving
But I carry the name of a man
(?)
And a girl in the blue velvet band
