Black Velvet If You Please

Mississippi, in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin', she got baby on her shoulder

The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, he knew how to move

Everything, always wantin' more

He leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet and that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis where music's like a heatwave

White lightning, bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl

"Love Me Tender" leave 'em cryin' in the aisles

The way he moved, it was a sin

So sweet and true, always wantin' more

He leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet and that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please (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?

Oh, what could you do?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what could you do?

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet and that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet if you please

Yeah, if you please

If you please

If you please
