voice; guitarsLeroy Gardner Springdale, Ark. Dec. 29, 1953 Reel 183 Item 2 The Girl in the Blue Velvet Band One night when I far rambled, The hour was just about nine, I met a fairy maiden in Frisco, On the corner of Cherry and Pine. On her face was beauty of nature, Her eyes they seemed to expand, With hair so dark and so brilliant, The girl with the blue velvet band. Down the street we strolled together, In my pocket she placed her small hand, She offered me a diamond That was worth ten grand. Coll. by M.C.
