Black Velvet Song Lyrics by Alannah Myles
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spellJimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up highMama’s dancin’ with a baby on her shoulderThe sun is settin’ like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everythingAlways wanting more, he’d leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy’s smileBlack velvet with that slow southern styleA new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesBlack velvet if you please
Up in Memphis, the music’s like a heatwaveWhite lightning, bound to drive you wildMama’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 trueAlways wanting more, he’d leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy’s smileBlack velvet with that slow southern styleA new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesBlack velvet if you please
Every word of every song that he sang was for youIn a flash, he was gone, it happened so soonWhat could you do?
Black velvet and that little boy’s smileBlack velvet with that slow southern styleA new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesBlack velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy’s smileBlack velvet with that slow southern styleA new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesBlack velvet if you please
If you please
If you pleaseIf you please
