Mississippi
in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers
on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin'
with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like
molasses in the sky
The boy could sing
Knew how to move
Everything
Always wanting more
He'd leave you longin' for
Black velvet
and that little boy's smile
Black velvet
with that slow southern style
A new religion
that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet
If you please
Up in Memphis
The music's like a heat wave
White lightnin'
Bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of
every school girl
Love Me Tender
leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved
It was a sin so sweet and true
Always wantin' more
He'd leave you longin' for
Black velvet
in that little boy's smile
Black velvet
in that slow southern style
A new religion
that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet
If you please
Every word
of every song
that he sang was for you oo
You ho oo oo oo
In a flash
He was gone
It happened so soon
What could you do oo oo
Black velvet
in that little boy's smile
Black velvet
in that slow southern style
A new religion
that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet
If you please
Black velvet
in that little boy's smile
Black velvet
in that slow southern style
A new religion
that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet
If you please
If you please
