Written and recorded by Hank Snow
2
Let me tell you a sad but true story
3
Let it be an example to man
4
How I tore down the world of my sweetheart
5
She was known as The Blue Velvet Band
6
On her cheeks were the first splash of nature
7
Her beauty, it seemed to expand
8
Her golden hair hung in tresses
9
Tied back with a blue velvet band
10
But I boarded a tanker for Holland
11
And accused her for loving some man
12
Still down in my heart she kept callin'
13
Come back to your Blue Velvet Band
14
As the sea-gull flew high up above me
15
In the path of the still red moonlight
16
I saw your face and awaked, dear
17
Out here on the ocean tonight
18
I was called to the bridge by our captain
19
His hand held a paper of white
20
This message just flashed o'er the wireless
21
And your darlin' is dying tonight
22
So I boarded a freighter in Cuba
23
To speed me back to her side
24
But the bell in the old country steeple
25
Soon told me my sweetheart had died
26
Heartbroken, I knelt down and kissed her
27
The last time to hold her sweet hand
28
There still, for the ring I had bought her
29
On her head was a blue velvet band
