Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mamas 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, hed leave you longing for

Chorus:
Black velvet and that little boys smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion thatll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the musics like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mamas babys 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, hed leave you longing for

chorus

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?

(Solo)

chorus repeats 2x

If you please, if you please, if you please
