Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
|
Jimmy Rodgers 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 ev'rything
|
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
|
Black velvet and that little boy 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 heat wave
|
White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild
|
Mama's baby's in the heart of ev'ry 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 smile
|
Black velvet and that slow southern style
|
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
|
Black velvet if you please
|
Ev'ry word of ev'ry 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 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 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
|
