Alannah Myles - Black Velvet lyrics

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high

Mama`s dancing with baby on her shoulder

The Sun is setting 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 and that little boy 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 lightning, bound to drive you wild.

Mama`s baby`s in the heart of every 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.

CHORUS:Black velvet and that little boy smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that`ll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang was for you.

In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,

What could you do?

CHORUS:

Black velvet and that little boy smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that`ll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please.

Black velvet and that little boy smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that`ll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please.

If you please

If you please
