Lyrics

[00:05.73][Verse 1:]
[00:22.48] Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
[00:28.34] Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
[00:33.40] Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
[00:38.08] The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
[00:43.91][Hook:]
[00:44.60] The boy could sing
[00:45.89] Knew how to move, everything
[00:48.77] Always wanting more
[00:51.64] He'd leave you longing for
[00:53.94][Chorus:]
[00:54.93] Black velvet
[00:56.13] And that little boy's smile
[00:59.17] Black velvet
[01:01.68] With that slow southern style
[01:04.58] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[01:10.13] Black velvet if you please
[01:22.04][Verse 2:]
[01:23.32] Up in Memphis
[01:25.61] The music's like a heatwave
[01:28.76] White lightning
[01:30.55] Bound to drive you wild
[01:33.98] Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl
[01:39.08] "Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
[01:44.10][Hook:]
[01:45.00] The way he moved
[01:46.49] It was a sin
[01:48.13] So sweet and true
[01:49.33] Always wanting more
[01:51.67] He'd leave you longing for
[01:54.65][Repeat Chorus:]
[01:55.36] Black velvet
[01:56.90] And that little boy's smile
[01:59.64] Black velvet
[02:02.20] With that slow southern style
[02:05.43] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[02:10.93] Black velvet if you please
[02:15.04]
[02:17.21][Bridge:]
[02:18.28] Every word of every song
[02:21.67] That he sang was for you
[02:24.96] In a flash, he was gone
[02:31.93] It happened so soon
[02:37.12] What could you do?
[02:43.30][Repeat Chorus:]
[03:00.38] Black velvet
[03:02.63] And that little boy's smile
[03:05.52] Black velvet
[03:07.96] With that slow southern style
[03:11.35] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[03:15.84] Black velvet if you please
[03:22.00] Black velvet
[03:23.79] And that little boy's smile
[03:27.09] Black velvet
[03:29.03] With that slow southern style
[03:32.24] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[03:36.82] Black velvet if you please
[03:50.04] If you please
[04:02.35] If you please
[04:12.91] If you please
[04:17.16]
