Текст песни Blue Velvet Band

If you listen a story I'll tell you

Of a girl who once lived in this land

A girl who once was my sweetheart

She was known as the Blue Velvet Band.

On her cheeks was the first flush of nature

Her beauty it seemed to expand

Her hair hung down in long tresses

Tied back with a blue velvet band.

I can still see those tears as we parted

Of my heart broken blue velvet band

As I left her I told her

I'll never come back to my home again.

Five years in the wide open spaces

Was all that my poor heart could stand

Every night as I lay on my pillowHank Snow - Blue Velvet Band - http://ru.motolyrics.com/hank-snow/blue-velvet-band-lyrics.html

I would dream of my Blue Velvet Band.

Then one night as I lay down dreaming

Of home and poor mother and dad

Like a flash by my bedside was standing

The form of my Blue Velvet Band.

I started next day for my darling

Just to go back and make her my bride

But as I reached the old country depot

They told me my sweetheart had died.

They laid her to rest in the churchyard

Midst the sweet summer flowers of the land

On her finger was the ring I had bought her

On her head was a blue velvet band...
