Black Velvet by Alannah Myles . ... Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rodgers on the Victr'la up high Mama's dancin' with 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 . (chorus) . 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, the 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 . (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? (chorus to end) .. .. .
