Mmmmm mmmm oooooo (ad lib)
Verse:
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
mE
Jamie Rogers on electro up high
Mamas dancing - baby on her shoulder
The sun is setting like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing and knew how to move - everything
Always wanting more - it leaves you longing for
Chorus:
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
new religion that'll bring you to your knees
NC
Black Velvet - if you please
Verse:
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, 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 in that little boy's smile
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
new religion that'll bring you to your knees
NC
Black Velvet - if you please
Bridge:
Every word of every song that he sang is for you
NC
In a flash he was gone it happened so soon what could you do?
Chorus:
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
new religion that'll bring you to your knees
NC
Black Velvet - if you please
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
new religion that'll bring you to your knees
NC
Black Velvet - if you please
