Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmie Rodgers from the Electrolab high
Mama's dancin' with her baby on her shoulder
Sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

That boy could move, that boy could sing
Everything, always wanting more
That he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and 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

Up in Memphis, the music's like a heatwave
White lightning bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby and the heart of every schoolgirl
"Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

That boy could move, it was a sin
So sweet and true, always wanting more
That he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and 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

And every word in 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 in 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 in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Black velvet if you please
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet if you please, yeah, yeah
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet if you please
