One night while out for a ramble,
[C] the hour just about [G] now, [C] I met a young maiden [G] in Bristol,
on the corner of Cherry and Brown.
On her face there was beauty of nature,
[C]
who [G] expand [C] with a high storage and so [G] rich,
entwining a blue velvet pair.
We strolled down the street together.
[C] In my pocket she placed her [G] small hand.
[C] She planted the evidence [G] on me, the girl in the blue velvet.
I heard the scream of the sirens,
[C]
the [G] velvet band.
[C] She left me to face [G] all the trouble,
for a [A] dime a third was worth [G] ten grand.

At night when bedtime was ringing,
[C]
standing [G] close to the bars, [C] I fancy I heard a [G] voice calling.
Far out [D] on the ocean [G] of stars, they sent me to San Quentin for stealing.
[C] God knows I [G] soon will, [C] but the guilty one now she [G]
lies dying, the girl in the blue velvet.
I'll be out in [Em] a year and [G] I'm a beaver, [C] and I'll carry the name of [G] a man [C] that served ten years [G] in prison,
for the girl in the blue velvet.
And when I get out I'll endeavor [C] to live in some [G] other land,
[C] and I bid farewell to [G] old Frisco and the grave of [Dm] my [B] blue [G] velvet band.
