Mississippi, in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancing with the baby on her shoulder The sun is setting like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, he knew what he had to move Everything's always wanting more It ain't what you're longing for Black velvet in that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring your heart to your knees Black velvet, if you please Up in Memphis, the music's like a heat wave White lightning bound to guide you out Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl Love me tender, leaves me crying in the aisle The way you moved was so, so sweet and true Always wanting more, it ain't what you're longing for Black velvet in that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring your heart 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 in that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring your heart to your knees Black velvet, if you please Black velvet in that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring your heart to your knees Black velvet, if you please If you please If you please If you please If you please
