Black Velvet
Alannah Myles
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jamie Rogers on electro up high Mamas dancing - baby on her shoulder The sun is setting like molasses in the sky The boy could sing and knew how to move - everything Always wanting more - it leaves you longing for Black Velvet in that little boy's smile Black Velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring you to your knees Black Velvet - if you please Up in Memphis the music is like a heat wave White Lightnin' - bound to drive you wild Mamas baby is in the heart of every school girl Love me Tender leaves em cryin' in the isles The way he moved it was a sin - so sweet and true Always wanting more it leaves you longing for Black Velvet in that little boy's smile Black Velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring you to your knees Black Velvet - if you please Every word of every song that he sang is for you In a flash he was gone - it happened so soon - what could you do ? (Instrumental) Black Velvet in that little boy's smile Black Velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring you to your knees Black Velvet - if you please (2x)
