Spoken:
2
Well howdy boys, howdy man
3
Man, it sure seems like a long time since I last rode down this old trail.
4
How ya'all anyhow?
5
Fellas, you see, I still have this old cigar box with me. Yes Sir!
6
And better yet, all the boys out here at the R.K. Ranch are singin'
7
A new song now.
8
Hope you like it because it's my answer to the Blue Velvet Band.
9
It goes like this:
10
Sang:
11
By and old willow tree in the churchyard
12
On the banks of the old Rio Grande
13
Lies a loved one who died broken hearted
14
She was known as the Blue Velvet Band.
15
She was called by the angels up yonder
16
As the dew kissed the pale summer rose
17
As we stood there in silence, dishearted
18
These words to her lover did go.
19
Dear Jack, you mistrusted your darling
20
You said that my love wasn't true
21
You've roamed o'er the wide open spaces
22
But my thoughts, they were always of you.
23
Now, my last wish was once more to see you
24
But they say you're in some foreign land
25
You're forgiveness is in this last message
26
From your heartbroken Blue Velvet Band.
27
Far away o'er the lone western prairie
28
Her message sped fast o'er the way
29
To the side of a bed where her cowboy
30
Was grieving his life fast away.
31
Please grant a last wish boys,
32
And lay me out West on that old Rio Grande
33
'Neath that old willow tree in the churchyard
34
By my sweetheart, the Blue Velvet Band...
