Allanah Myles (Black Velvet)Mississippi in the middle of a dry spellJimmy Rogers on the Victrola up highMama's dancin', there's a baby on her shoulderThe sun is settin' like molasses in the skyThe boy could sing, knew how to move, everythingAlways wanting more, he'd leave you longing forChorus:Black velvet in that little boy's smileBlack velvet with that slow southern styleA new religion that'll bring you to your kneesBlack velvet if you pleaseUp in Memphis the music's like a heat waveWhite lightening, bound to drive you wildMama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl"Love me tender" leaves them cryin' in the aislesThe way he moved, it was a song, so sweet and trueAlways wanting more, he'd leave you longing forChorus:Every word of every song he sang was for youIn a flash he was gone, it happened so soonWhat could you do?Chorus:Chorus:
