song lyrics Black Velvet lyrics
Allanah Myles (Black Velvet)
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama s dancin , there s a baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he d leave you longing for
Chorus:
Black velvet in that little boy s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Up in Memphis the music s like a heat wave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama s baby s in the heart of every schoolgirl
"Love me tender" leaves them cryin in the aisles
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he d leave you longing for
Chorus:
Every word of every song he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon
What could you do?
Chorus:
Chorus:
