Black velvet if you please
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Black velvet with that slow southern style
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
Black velvet if you please
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
If you please, if you please, if you please
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
