Well howdy boys, howdy, man, man it sure seems like a long time
4
since I last rode down this old trail. How ya all anyhow?
5

6
And better yet, all the boys out here at the R.K. Ranch are singin'
7
a new song now. Hope you like it because it's my answer to
8
The Blue Velvet Band. It goes like this.
9
By and old willow tree in the churchyard
10
On the banks of the old Rio Grande
11
Lies a loved one who died broken hearted
12
She was known as the Blue Velvet Band
13
She was called by the angels up yonder
14
As the dew kissed the pale summer rose
15
As we stood there in silence, dishearted
16
These words to her lover did go
17
Dear Jack, you mistrusted your darling
18
You said that my love wasn't true
19
You've roamed o'er the wide open spaces
20
But my thoughts, they were always of you
21
Now, my last wish was once more to see you
22
But they say you're in some foreign land
23
You're forgiveness is in this last message
24
From your heartbroken Blue Velvet Band
25
Far away o'er the lone western prairie
26
Her message sped fast o'er the way
27
To the side of a bed where her cowboy
28
Was grieving his life fast away
29
Please grant a last wish, boys, and lay me
30
Out West on that old Rio Grande
31
Neath that old willow tree in the churchyard
32
By my sweetheart, the Blue Velvet Band
