Black Velvet

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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightening, bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every 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's smile Black velvet and that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring you to your knees Black velvet, if you please
