Bill Monroe - Girl In The Blue Velvet Band Lyrics

Send "Girl In The Blue Velvet Band" ringtone to your cell

One night while out for a ramble

The hour was just about nine

I met a young maiden in Frisco

On the corner of Geary and Pine

On her face there was beauty of nature

And her eyes just seemed to expand

Her hair was 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 siren

And the girl in the blue velvet band

She left me to face all the trouble

With a diamond that was worth ten grand

They sent me to San Quentin for stealing

God knows I'm an innocent man

The guilty one now she lie's dying

The girl in the blue velvet band

Last night when bed-time was ringin

Standing there close to the bars

I fancied I heard a voice calling

Far out in the ocean of stars

I'll be out in a year and I'm leaving

But I'll carry the name of a man

That served ten 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
