Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
If you please, if you please, if you please
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Black velvet if you please
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
You do?
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Black velvet with that slow southern style
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Songwriters: David Michael Tyson, Christopher William Ward
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
Black velvet if you please
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet if you please
