[Verse 1]
Mississippi in
the middle of
a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers o
n the Victrola
up high
Mama's dancing
with baby on
her shoulder
The Sun is set
ting like mola
sses in the sk
y.
The boy could
sing, knew how
to move, ever
ything.
Always wanting
more, he'd le
ave you longin
g for.
[Chorus]
Black velvet i
n that little
boy's smile
Black velvet w
ith that slow
southern style
A new religion
that'll bring
you to your k
nees
Black velvet i
f you please.
[Verse 2]
Up in Memphis
the music's li
ke a heat wave
White lightnin
g, bound to dr
ive you wild.
Mama's baby's
in the heart o
f every school
girl
"Love me tende
r" leaves 'em
cryin' in the
aisle
The way he mov
ed, it was a s
in, so sweet a
nd true.
Always wanting
more, he'd le
ave you longin
g for.
[Chorus]
Black velvet a
nd that little
boy smile
Black velvet w
ith that slow
southern style
A new religion
that'll bring
you to your k
nees
Black velvet i
f you please.
[Bridge]
Every word of
every song tha
t he sang was
for you.
In a flash he
was gone, it h
appened so soo
n,
What could you
do?
[Chorus]
Black velvet a
nd that little
boy smile
Black velvet w
ith that slow
southern style
A new religion
that'll bring
you to your k
nees
Black velvet i
f you please.
[Outro]
Black velvet a
nd that little
boy smile
Black velvet w
ith that slow
southern style
A new religion
that'll bring
you to your k
nees
Black velvet i
f you please.
If you please
If you please
