| [00:05.73][Verse 1:] |
|
| [00:22.48] |
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell |
| [00:28.34] |
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high |
| [00:33.40] |
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder |
| [00:38.08] |
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky |
| [00:43.91][Hook:] |
|
| [00:44.60] |
The boy could sing |
| [00:45.89] |
Knew how to move, everything |
| [00:48.77] |
Always wanting more |
| [00:51.64] |
He'd leave you longing for |
| [00:53.94][Chorus:] |
|
| [00:54.93] |
Black velvet |
| [00:56.13] |
And that little boy's smile |
| [00:59.17] |
Black velvet |
| [01:01.68] |
With that slow southern style |
| [01:04.58] |
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees |
| [01:10.13] |
Black velvet if you please |
| [01:22.04][Verse 2:] |
|
| [01:23.32] |
Up in Memphis |
| [01:25.61] |
The music's like a heatwave |
| [01:28.76] |
White lightning |
| [01:30.55] |
Bound to drive you wild |
| [01:33.98] |
Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl |
| [01:39.08] |
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle |
| [01:44.10][Hook:] |
|
| [01:45.00] |
The way he moved |
| [01:46.49] |
It was a sin |
| [01:48.13] |
So sweet and true |
| [01:49.33] |
Always wanting more |
| [01:51.67] |
He'd leave you longing for |
| [01:54.65][Repeat Chorus:] |
|
| [01:55.36] |
Black velvet |
| [01:56.90] |
And that little boy's smile |
| [01:59.64] |
Black velvet |
| [02:02.20] |
With that slow southern style |
| [02:05.43] |
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees |
| [02:10.93] |
Black velvet if you please |
| [02:15.04] |
|
| [02:17.21][Bridge:] |
|
| [02:18.28] |
Every word of every song |
| [02:21.67] |
That he sang was for you |
| [02:24.96] |
In a flash, he was gone |
| [02:31.93] |
It happened so soon |
| [02:37.12] |
What could you do? |
| [02:43.30][Repeat Chorus:] |
|
| [03:00.38] |
Black velvet |
| [03:02.63] |
And that little boy's smile |
| [03:05.52] |
Black velvet |
| [03:07.96] |
With that slow southern style |
| [03:11.35] |
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees |
| [03:15.84] |
Black velvet if you please |
| [03:22.00] |
Black velvet |
| [03:23.79] |
And that little boy's smile |
| [03:27.09] |
Black velvet |
| [03:29.03] |
With that slow southern style |
| [03:32.24] |
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees |
| [03:36.82] |
Black velvet if you please |
| [03:50.04] |
If you please |
| [04:02.35] |
If you please |
| [04:12.91] |
If you please |
| [04:17.16] |
|
