Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodger on the victrola up high
Mama’s dancing 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
Black Velvet and that little boy smile
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that will bring you to your knees
Black Velvet if you please
Up in Memphis the musics like a heatwave
White lightning is bound to drive you wild
Mama’s baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl
Love Me Tender leaves them crying in the aisles
The way he moved was a sin so sweet and true
Always wanting more
He’d leave you longing for
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone
It happened so soon
What could you really do
