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 lightning, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl
"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 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 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 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 in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet
If you please
