Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmie Rodgers on electro'd up high
Mama's dancin', baby's on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The way you move, you are so smooth
Everything, always wantin' more
He'll leave you longin' for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet and 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 is in the heart of every schoolgirl
"Love Me Tender" leave 'em cryin' in the aisle

The way you move, you are so smooth
Sweet and true, always wantin' more
He'll leave you longin' for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet and 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 is 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 ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet and 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
Ah, if you please
