So come all you jolly young fellows A warning take from me When you are out on the town, me boys, Beware of the pretty Colleens For they feed you with strong drink,my lads, 'Til you are unable to stand And the very next thing that you'll know is You've landed in Van Dieman's Land Her eyes they shone 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
In a neat little town they call Belfast Apprentice to a trade I was bound And many's an hour's sweet happiness Have I spent in this neat little town. A sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Betrayed by the black velvet band. Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black velvet band..

Wonder why don't someone cover this song as the way the bartender sang in peaky blinders, because truly this song sounds best in peaky blinders
I really love when this song is sung with passion by an Irish woman. Maith thú x
So come all you jolly young fellows
A warning take from me
When you are out on the town, me boys,
Beware of the pretty Colleens
For they feed you with strong drink,my lads,
'Til you are unable to stand
And the very next thing that you'll know is
You've landed in Van Dieman's Land
Her eyes they shone 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 love this cover 😍 thanks for sharing this amazing voice 😄
Lovely!
not sure this is a cover, it is your performance of what's become an Irish traditional song - a very good one too!
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
My dad sang me this tune😊
In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprentice to a trade I was bound
And many's an hour's sweet happiness
Have I spent in this neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me
Which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band..
Aboy sheena
