Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Momma's dancing with a 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'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
Momma's baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl
"Love Me Tender" leaves em 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'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
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
