Black Velvet lyrics

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell,

Jimmy Rodgers 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 ev'rything,

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy 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 heat wave

White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild,

Mama's baby's in the heart of ev'ry 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 smile.

Black velvet with that slow southern style.

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees.

Black velvet, if you please.

Ev'ry word of ev'ry 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 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 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...
