[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]
