Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
|
||
|
|
Jimmy Rogers 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, everything
|
||
|
|
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
|
||
|
|
Black velvet with that slow southern style
|
||
|
|
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
|
||
|
|
Black velvet if you please
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
|
||
|
|
Black velvet with that slow southern style
|
||
|
|
A new religion that'll bring ya 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?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
|
||
|
|
Black velvet with that slow southern style
|
||
|
|
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
|
||
|
|
Black velvet if you please
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
|
||
|
|
Black velvet with that slow southern style
|
||
|
|
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
|
||
|
|
Black velvet if you please
|
||
|
|
If you please, if you please, if you please...
