Black Velvet Nikki Mckibbin lyrics

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama`s 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, he`d leave you longing for

Chorus:
Black velvet and 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

Up in Memphis the music`s like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama`s baby`s in the heart of every school girl
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he`d leave you longing for

Black velvet and 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

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`s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that`ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
