Alannah Myles Black Velvet Terry Brown song 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

Black velvet and 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's 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 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 you 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 you to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Black velvet and 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

If you please, if you please, if you please
