Alannah Myles - Black VelvetMississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' this 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 & that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring y'all to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the musics like a heatwave White lightning, 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 & true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet & that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring y'all 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 really do? Black velvet & 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 & that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring y'all to your knees Black velvet if you please If you please If you please If you please |
