In a neat little town they called Belfast Apprentice to trade I was bound And many an hour sweet happiness Have I spent in that neat little town But a sad misfortune came over me That caused me to stray from the land Far away from me friends and relations Betrayed by the black velvet band Her eyes they shown like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band I took a stroll down broadway Meaning not long for to stay When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid Come a-traipsing along the highway She was both fair and handsome Her neck, it was just like a swan And her hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band Her eyes they shown like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid And a gentleman passing us by Well, I knew she meant the doing of him By the look in her roguish black eye A gold watch she took from him And placed it right into my hand And the very first thing that I said, was Bad 'cess to the black velvet band Her eyes they shown like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band Before the judge and the jury Next morning, I had to appear The judge, he says to me: "Young man, your case it is proven clear We'll give you seven years penal servitude To be spent far away from the land Far away from your friends and relations Betrayed by the black velvet band" Her eyes they shown like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band So come all you jolly young fellows A warning take by me When you are out on the town, me lads Beware of the pretty colleens They'll feed you with strong drink, oh yeah 'Till you are unable to stand And the very first thing that you'll know is You've landed in Van Diemens Land Her eyes they shown like diamonds Her neck, it was just like a swan And her hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band And her hair, it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band

I must away now, I can no longer tarry This morning's tempest, I have to cross I must be guided without a stumble Into the arms, I love the most And when he came to his true love's dwelling He knelt down gently upon a stone And through her window, he whispered lowly Is my true lover within, at home? Wake up, wake up, love, it is thine own true lover Wake up, wake up, love, and let me in For I am tired, love, and oh, so weary And more than near, drenched to the skin She raised her up on her down soft pillow She raised her up and she let him in And they were locked in each other's arms Until, that long night was past and gone And when that long night was past and over And when the small clouds began to grow He took her hand and kissed, and parted And he saddled and mounted, and away he did go I must away now, I can no longer tarry This morning's tempest, I have to cross I must be guided without a stumble Into the arms I love the most Into the arms I love the most

Oh the wind whistles down the cold dark street tonight and the people they were dancing to the music vibe And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair And the shy tormented youth sit way over there And the songs they get louder each one better than before and you're singing the songs thinking this is the life and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size where you gonna go where you gonna go where you gonna sleep tonight and you're singing the songs thinking this is the life and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size where you gonna go where you gonna go where you gonna sleep tonight where you gonna sleep tonight So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door But nobody's in and nobody's home till four So you're sitting there with nothing to do Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew. and where you're gonna go and where your gonna sleep tonight. and you're singing the songs thinking this is the life and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size where you gonna go where you gonna go where you gonna sleep tonight where you gonna sleep tonight

As long as your father told you As long as you can How long will I give to you? As long as I live through you However long you say How long will I love you? As long as stars are above you And longer if I may How long will I love you? As long as stars are above you

You'll remember me when the west wind moves Among the fields of the barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold So she took her love for to gaze awhile Among the fields of the barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me will you be my love Among the fields of the barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We will walk in fields of gold We will walk in fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We will walk in fields of gold Yeah we'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of the barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Among the fields of the barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky When we walk in fields of gold Oh when we walk in fields of gold We will walk in fields of gold

Black is the colour of my true love's hair His lips are like some roses fair He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon he stands I love my love and well he knows I love the ground whereon he goes I wish the day would soon come When he and I could be as one I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep For satisfied I cannot sleep I write him a letter just a few short lines And I suffer death ten thousand times Black is the colour of my true love's hair His lips are like some roses fair He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands I love the ground whereon he stands I love the ground whereon he stands I love I love I love the ground whereon he stands

Let It Go 04:19
From walking home and talking loads To seeing shows in evening clothes with you From nervous touch and getting drunk To staying up and waking up with you Now we're sleeping near the edge Holding something we don't need All this delusion in our heads is gonna bring us to our knees So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? And I'll be me From throwing clothes across the floor To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you If this is all we're living for Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore? I used to recognize myself It's funny how reflections change When we're becoming something else I think it's time to walk away So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? And I'll be me Tryna fit your hand inside of mine When we know it just don't belong Cause no force on earth could make it feel right, no no Tryna push this problem up the hill When it's just too heavy to hold I think now's the time to let it slide So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Let the ashes fall Forget about me Come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? And I'll be me

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Michael they are taking you away For you stole Trevelyan's corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so loney round the fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters Mary when you're free Against the famine and the crown I rebelled they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so loney round the fields of Athenry By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky For she live in hope and pray For her love in Botany bay For it's lonely round the fields of Athenry Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It's so loney round the fields of Athenry

Is it warm where you are? Oh has the snow fallen down? Does the fire light beside you? Is your house dressed in lights? Can you see it from afar? Does the fire burn inside you? And it's a wonderful time to make you mine though I know it's not that easy I hope that you find love and all you're dreaming of, this Christmas. And I hope that you find peace and you're mind is at ease, this Christmas, this Christmas. Will you watch the children play out upon the street Just like you did last year? Will your family gather 'round? Will you talk about old times? Will you drink a little wine? And it's a wonderful time to make you mine though I know it's not that easy I hope that you find love and all you're dreaming of, this Christmas And I hope that you find peace and you're mind is at ease, this Christmas this Christmas And you're not near No you are far And I want you here My shining star From across the room Or a world apart I'll tell you With a festive heart that I hope that you find love and all you're dreaming of, this Christmas And I hope that you find peace and you're mind is at ease, this Christmas I hope that you find love and all you're dreaming of, this Christmas And I hope that you find peace and you're mind is at ease, this Christmas this Christmas

Maybe in the start we would laugh Maybe in the end we would cry But I believe in every book I've ever read And what you said And the moon was in the sky And the tears did fill my eyes And the memories they all had passed But in my head they'll always last And in the end before I could be I'd shown the world What it means to me Believe it or not, I made them see This is what happiness means to me Will I ever see your face again Will I ever touch your skin I'll never stop loving everything you do But not me and you And the moon was in the sky And the tears did fill my eyes And the memories they all had passed But in my head they'll always last And in the end before I could be I'd shown the world What it means to me Believe it or not, I made them see This is what happiness means to me And in the end, I made them see This is what happiness means to me
