Black Velvet Lyrics

[00:23.28] Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
[00:28.46] Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high
[00:33.63] Mama's dancin' with a baby on her shoulder
[00:39.03] The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
[00:44.14] The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
[00:49.47] Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
[00:55.15] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[00:59.59] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[01:04.98] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[01:10.43] Black velvet if you please
[01:14.66]
[01:23.06] Up in Memphis, the music's like a heatwave
[01:29.20] White lightning, bound to drive you wild
[01:34.17] Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl
[01:39.58] "Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
[01:44.81] The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
[01:50.57] Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
[01:55.40] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[02:00.35] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[02:05.54] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[02:10.95] Black velvet if you please
[02:15.41]
[02:19.27] Every word of every song that he sang was for you
[02:26.04]
[02:29.07] In a flash, he was gone, it happened so soon
[02:36.27]
[02:38.34] What could you do?
[02:42.29]
[03:01.27] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[03:06.37] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[03:11.58] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[03:17.13] Black velvet if you please
[03:22.73] Black velvet and that little boy's smile
[03:27.48] Black velvet with that slow southern style
[03:32.66] A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
[03:38.22] Black velvet if you please
[03:45.45]
[03:50.47] If you please
[03:53.16]
[04:04.32] If you please
[04:08.43]
[04:14.36] If you please
[04:15.18]
