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
+
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 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's smile
+
Black velvet with that slow southern style
+
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
+
Black velvet if you please
+
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?
+
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
+
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
+
