We also play at local nursing homes, charities, and community events, and have performed live on TV, radio, podcasts, theatres, and festivals. We’re available for private parties, weddings, or corporate events. Please contact us at info@belfastukejam.com for bookings.
Finally, this songbook is always a ‘Work in Progress’, we continue to update it as we find out what does or does not work from our weekly jamming sessions.

Intro: [Dm] [G] [C] [C]
Verse 1:
In a [C] neat little town they call Belfast, apprenticed to [F] trade I was [G] bound,
[C] Many an hour sweet happiness
Have I [Dm] spent in that [G] neat little [C] town.
'Till a sad misfortune came o'er me, and caused me to [F] stray from the [G] land.
Far a-[C]way from my friends and relations, Be-[Dm]trayed by the [G] black velvet [C] band.
|Chorus:
|Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds,
|I thought her the [F] queen of the [G] land,
|And her [C] hair hung over her [Am] shoulder,
|Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band.
Verse 2:
I [C] took a stroll down Broadway, meaning not [F] long for to [G] stay,
When [C] who should I meet but this pretty fair maid,
Come a [Dm] traipsing a-[G]long the high[C]way.
She was both fair and handsome, her neck it was [F] just like a [G] swan's
And her [C] hair hung over her shoulder, Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band.
|Chorus:
Verse 3:
I [C] took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman [F] passing us [G] by.
Well, I [C] knew she meant the doing of him,
By the [Dm] look in her [G] roguish black [C] eye.
A gold watch she took from his pocket, And placed it [F] right into my [G] hand,
And the [C] very first thing that I said was, "Bad [Dm] ‘cess to the [G] black velvet [C] band".
|Chorus:
Verse 4:
Be[C]fore the judge and the jury next morning I [F] had to a-[G]ppear.
The [C] judge he says to me, "Young fellow,
The [Dm] case against [G] you is quite [C] clear.
Seven long years is your sentence, to be spent far a [F] way from this [G] land,
Far a-[C]way from your friends and relations, Be-[Dm]trayed by the [G] black velvet [C] band.
|Chorus:
|Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds,
|I thought her the [F] queen of the [G] land,
|And her [C] hair hung over her [Am] shoulder,
|Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band.
Verse 5:
So [C] come all you jolly young fellows, A warning [F] take by [G] me
[C] When you are out on the town, me boys
Be-[Dm]ware of the [G] pretty coll-[C]eens
For they feed you with strong drink, me lads, Till you are un-[F]able to [G] stand
And the [C] very first thing that you'll know is, You've [Dm] landed in [G] Van Diemen's [C] Land
|Chorus:
|Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds,
|I thought her the [F] queen of the [G] land,
|And her [C] hair hung over her [Am] shoulder,
|(Slowing)
|Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C////////] band.

Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy
Verse 1:
[C] As I was a goin' over the [Am] far famed Kerry mountains

But the [F] devil take the women for they [C] never can be easy
Chorus:
Verse 3:
I [C] went into my chamber, all [Am] for to take a slumber
I [F] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C] sure it was no wonder

Then [F] sent for captain Farrell to be [C] ready for the slaughter.
Chorus:
Verse 4:
It was [C] early in the morning, just be[Am]fore I rose to travel
The [F] guards were all around me and [C] likewise Captain Farrell

But I [F] couldn't shoot the water, so a [C] prisoner I was taken.
Chorus:
Verse 5:
If [C] anyone can aid me, it's my [Am] brother in the army,
If [F] I can find his station in [C] Cork or in Killarney.
And [C] if he'll come and save me, we'll go [Am] roving near Kilkenny,
and I [F] swear he'll treat me better than me [C] darling sportling Jenny.
Chorus:
Verse 6:
Now [C] some men take delight in the [Am] drinking and the roving,
But [F] others take delight in the [C] gambling and the smoking.
But [C] I take delight in the [Am] juice of the barley,
and [F] courting pretty Jenny in the [C] morning bright and early.
|Chorus:

Intro:
Am Am
Am Dm Am
There once was a ship that put to sea, and the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
Am E7 Am
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down, Oh blow, me bully boys, blow {blue}(huh){/blue}
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go
[Am] {blue}( ... two, three, four){/blue}
Am Dm Am
She'd not been two weeks from shore, when down on her a right whale bore
Am E7 Am
The captain called all hands and swore, he'd take that whale in tow {blue}(huh){/blue}
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go

|F C Dm Am
| Da-da da da da-da, Da-da da-da-da da da-da
|F C E7 Am
| Da-da da da da-da, Da da da da da-da
Am Dm Am
Before the boat had hit the water, the whaaale's tail came up and caught her
Am E7 Am
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her when she dived down low {blue}(huh){/blue}
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go
[Am] {blue}( ... two, three, four){/blue}
Am Dm Am
No line was cut, no whale was freed, the captain's mind was not of greed
Am E7 Am
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed, she took that ship in tow {blue}(huh){/blue}
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am

|F C E7 Am
| Da-da da da da-da, Da da da da da-da
Am Dm Am
For forty days or even more, the line went slack then tight once more
Am E7 Am
All boats were lost, there were only four, but still that whale did go {blue}(huh){/blue}
|[Chorus]
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go
[Am] {blue}( ... two, three, four){/blue}
Am Dm Am
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on, the line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
Am E7 Am
The Wellerman makes his regular call, to en-courage the captain, crew and all
|[Chorus] {blue}(repeat and get faster each time){/blue}
|F C Dm Am
| Soon may the Wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C E7 Am
| One day, when the tonguin’ is done, we'll take our leave and go

Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy
Verse 1:
[C] As I was a goin' over the [Am] far famed Kerry mountains
I [F] met with Captain Farrell and his [C] money he was counting
I [C] first produced my pistol and I [Am] then produced my rapier
Said [F] "Stand and deliver" for you [C] are my bold deceiver
|Chorus:
|With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da
|[C] Whack for the daddy-o [F] whack for the daddy-o
|There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.
Verse 2:
I [C] counted out his money and it [Am] made a pretty penny
I [F] put it in me pocket and I [C] brought it home to Jenny
She [C] said and she swore that she [Am] never would deceive me
But the [F] devil take the women for they [C] never can be easy
Chorus:
Verse 3:
I [C] went into my chamber, all [Am] for to take a slumber
I [F] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C] sure it was no wonder
But [C] Jenny drew me charges and she [Am] filled them up with water
Then [F] sent for captain Farrell to be [C] ready for the slaughter.
Chorus:
Verse 4:
It was [C] early in the morning, just be[Am]fore I rose to travel
The [F] guards were all around me and [C] likewise Captain Farrell
I [C] first produced me pistol for she [Am] stole away me rapier
But I [F] couldn't shoot the water, so a [C] prisoner I was taken.
Chorus:
Verse 5:
If [C] anyone can aid me, it's my [Am] brother in the army,
If [F] I can find his station in [C] Cork or in Killarney.
And [C] if he'll come and save me, we'll go [Am] roving near Kilkenny,
and I [F] swear he'll treat me better than me [C] darling sportling Jenny.
Chorus:
Verse 6:
Now [C] some men take delight in the [Am] drinking and the roving,
But [F] others take delight in the [C] gambling and the smoking.
But [C] I take delight in the [Am] juice of the barley,
and [F] courting pretty Jenny in the [C] morning bright and early.
|Chorus:
|With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da
|[C] Whack for the daddy-o [F] whack for the daddy-o
|There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.
