(by Alannah Myles)    Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell  Jimmy Rogers 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, 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 ya 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 with that slow southern style  A new religion that'll bring ya 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?    (Solo)    Black velvet and that little boy's 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's 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
