BLACK  VELVET
Recorded By: Alanah Myles

                 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
                 "Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
                 The way he moved, it was a sin, 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?

                 (Solo)

                 chorus repeats 2x

                 If you please, if you please, if you please
