(Click on the above button to hear the song written after Elvis' death 'Black Velvet'...) |
| Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell |
| Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high |
| Mama's dancin', there's a 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
|
| (Chorus) |
| Black velvet in that little boy's smile |
| Black velvet with that slow southern style |
| A new religion that'll bring you to your knees |
| Black velvet if you please
|
| Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave |
| White lightening, bound to drive you wild |
| Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl |
| "Love Me Tender" leaves them cryin' in the aisles |
| The way he moved, it was a song, so sweet and true |
| Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| Every word of every song he sang was for you |
| In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon |
| What could you do?
|
(Repeat Chorus) |
(Repeat Chorus) |
