Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy 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 would 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 you 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 them crying in the aisle
The way he moved it was a sin, so sweet and true always wanting more

He would 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 you 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 you to your knees black velvet if you please
