Crystal Bowersox – Black Velvet 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 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

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

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 ya 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 ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

If you please, if you please, if you please
