black velvet terry brown mix

Alannah Myles

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama s dancin with a 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 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 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
