Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
You do?
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
If you please, if you please, if you please
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
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 with that slow southern style
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
Songwriters: David Michael Tyson, Christopher William Ward
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet with that slow southern style

Black velvet with that slow southern style
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Black velvet if you please
