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 in 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 lightn', bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl "Love me tender" leaves you 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 in that little boy's smile Black velvet in 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? Black velvet in that little boy's smile Black velvet in that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet in that little boy's smile Black velvet in 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 |
