Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell   Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high   Mama's dancin' , baby on her shoulder   The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky   But what he sang knew how to move, everything   Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for      Chorus:   Black velvet and that little boy's 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 heatwave   White lightening, 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 and 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 and that slow southern style   A new religion that'll bring you to your knees   Black velvet if you please
