Black Velvet

Verse 1

 Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

 Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high

 Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder

 The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

Pre-Chorus

 The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything

 Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Chorus

 Black velvet and that little boy's smile

 Black velvet with that slow southern style

 A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

 Black velvet if you please

Verse 2

 Up in Memphis, the music's like a heatwave

 White lightning, bound to drive you wild

 Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl

 "Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

Pre-Chorus

 The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true

 Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Chorus

 Black velvet and that little boy's smile

 Black velvet with that slow southern style

 A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

 Black velvet if you please

Bridge

 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?

Guitar Solo

Chorus

 Black velvet and that little boy's smile

 Black velvet with 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's smile

 Black velvet with that slow southern style

 A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

 Black velvet if you please

Outro

 If you please

 If you please

 If you please
