Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high Mama´s dancin´ with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin´ like molasses in the sky Boy could sing, Knew how to move ev´rything Always wanting more, He´d leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion That´ll bring her 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 ev´ry 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 smile Black velvet and that slow southern style A new religion That´ll bring her to your knees Black velvet if you please Ev´ry word of ev´ry 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 smile Black velvet in that slow southern style A new religion That´ll bring her to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet and that little boy smile Black velvet in that slow southern style A new religion That´ll bring her to your knees Black velvet if you please If you please If you please If you please Hmmmmmmmmm
