Black Velvet
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmie Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder
The sun is setting 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 smile
Black Velvet and 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 schoolgirl
'Love Me Tender' leaves them crying 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 you to your knees
Black Velvet if you please
And 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 smile
Black Velvet and that slow Southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black Velvet if you please
Jimmie Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder
The sun is setting 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 smile
Black Velvet and 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 schoolgirl
'Love Me Tender' leaves them crying 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 you to your knees
Black Velvet if you please
And 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 smile
Black Velvet and that slow Southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black Velvet if you please
