BLACK VELVET / ALANNAH MYLES / NIVEL 3

Mississippi in the middle of a dry shell
Jimmy Rodgers 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 ev'rything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring her to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of ev'ry 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 smile

Black velvet and that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring her to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Ev'ry word of ev'ry 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 smile
Black velvet in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring her to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring her to your knees
Black velvet if you please

(repeat)
If you please…
