W:1.As I went walking down Broadway, not intending to stay very long,
W:  I met with a frolicksome damsel, as she came tripping along.
W:2.A watch she pulled out of her pocket, and slipped it right into my hand,
W:  On the very first day that I met her, bad luck to the black velvet band.
W:3.Before judge and jury next morning, both of us did appear.
W:  A gentleman claimed his jewellery, and the case against us, it was clear.
W:4.Seven long years transportation, right down to Van Dieman's Land,
W:  Far away from my friends and companions, betrayed by the black velvet band.
