Текст песни: The Girl In The Blue Velvet Band + перевод

one night while out for a ramble

the hour was just about 9

I met a young Maiden in Frisco

on the corner of gleary and Pine

on her face there was beauty of nature

and her eyes they seem to expand

with hair so rich and so brilliant

entwined in a blue velvet band

we strolled down the street together

In my pocket she placed her small hand

she planted the evidence on me

the girl in the blue velvet band

I heard the scream of the sirens

and the girl in the blue velvet band

she left me to face all the trouble

For a diamond that’s worth 10 grand

at night when the bedtime was ringing

standing close to the bar

I fancy I heard a voice calling

from Out on the Ocean so far

they sent me to San Quentin for stealing

God knows I’m an innocent man

but the guilty one, now she lies dying

the girl in the blue velvet band

well I’ll be out in a year and I’m leaving

and I’ll carry the name of a man

that served 10 years in prison

for the girl in the blue velvet band

and when I get out I’ll Endeavor

to live in some other land

and I’ll Bid Farewell to Old Frisco

and the girl in the blue velvet band
