Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with a baby on her shoulders

Sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, knew how to move and everything

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and my little boy smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave

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 loved, it was a sin, so sweet and true

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and my little boy smile

Black velvet in his slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Every word and 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 my little boy smile

Black velvet in his slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Black velvet and my little boy smile

Black velvet in his slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please, yeah

If you please
