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
C
