Mmmmm mmmm oooooo (ad lib)
[Verse 1]
Mississippi in
the middle of
a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers o
n the Victrola
up high
Mama's dancing
- baby on her
shoulder
The sun is set
ting like mola
sses in the sk
y
The boy could
sing, knew how
to move - e
verything
Always want
ing more - it
leaves you lon
ging 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
- if you pl
ease
[Verse 2]
Up in Memphis
the music's li
ke a heatwave
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
aisles
The way he mo
ved, it was a
sin, so sweet
and true
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
- if you pl
ease
[Bridge]
Every word of
every song tha

or you
In a flash he
was gone - i
t happened so
soon - w
hat could you
do?
[Guitar Solo]
(8 bars)
[Chorus]
Black Velvet i

boy's smile
Black Velvet w

southern style
A new religion
that'll bring
you to your k
nees
Black Velvet
- if you pl
ease
Black Velvet i
n that little
boy's smile
Black Velvet w
ith that slow
southern style
A new religion
that'll bring
