Mississippi in the
Middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the
Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with
A 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
Longing 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
Heatwave
White Lightning
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 wanting more
He'd leave you
Longing 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
Every word of
Every song
That he sang was
For you
In a flash he was gone
It happened so soon
What could you do?
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
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
If you please
If you please
If you please
