Alannah Myles-Black Velvet lyrics

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodgers on the Victr'la up high

Mama's dancin', baby on her shoulder
The Sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing he knew how to move
Everything

Always wantin' more
He'd leave you longing for

Black Velvet and that little boy smile
Black Velvet and that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black Velvet if you please.

Up in Memphis, music's like a heat wave
White lightning bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl
''Love me tender'' leaves 'em crying in the aisles

The way he moved, it was like a song
So sweet and true

Always wanting more,
He'd leave you longing for

Black Velvet and that little boy smile
Black Velvet and 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 smile
Black Velvet and 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 smile
Black Velvet and that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black Velvet if you
