Intro 8x bars Em with blues shuffle and runs

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder

The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, knew how to move - ev'rything

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet in that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring her to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave

White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of ev'ry school girl

Love Me Tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

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

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet in that little boy's smile

Black velvet in that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring her to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Ev'ry word of ev'ry 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 in that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring her to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Black velvet in that little boy's smile

Black velvet in that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring her to your knees

Black velvet if you please

If you please If you please If you please
