The Girl In The Blue Velvet Band 
Recorded by Mac Wiseman
Written by Mel Foree and Cliff Carlisle
[3/4 time]

C                 G7        C
One evening while out for a ramble 
    F                   C
The hour was just about nine 
  F                     C
I met a young maiden in Frisco 
                 G7         C
On the corner of Cherry and Pine 

                      G7        C
On her face there was beauty of nature 
    F                C
And her eyes seem to expand 
    F                   C
Her hair so rich and so brilliant 
                  G7          C
Was entwined in a blue velvet band
 
                     G7       C
We strolled down the street together 
      F                           C
In my pocket she placed her small hand 
F                        C
She planted the evidence on me 
               G7            C
A diamond that was worth ten grand 

                 G7            C
Well I heard the scream of the sirens 
    F                           C
And the girl in the blue velvet band 
    F                       C
She left me to face all the troubles 
                    G7            C
With a diamond that was worth ten grand 

                G7              C
They sent me to San Quentin for stealing 
F                         C
God knows I'm an innocent man 
    F                           C
But the guilty one now she lies dying 
               G7          C
My girl in the blue velvet band 

              G7         C
At night when bedtime is ringing 
  F                             C
I stand looking out through the bars 
  F                      C
I fancy I hear her voice calling 
                G7       C
Far out on that ocean of stars 

                 G7           C
I'll be out in a week and I'm leaving 
    F                         C
But I'll carry that name of a man 
    F                  C
Who spent ten years in prison 
                    G7          C
For the girl in the blue velvet band 

           G7         C
When I get out I will endeavor 
   F                        C
To live in some far distant land
     F                   C
I’ll bid farewell to old Frisco
                    G7          C
And the girl in the blue velvet band
