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 longing for [REFRÃO] 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 schoolgirl "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 [REFRÃO] 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? [REFRÃO] 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
