Black Velvet Songtext
von Assignment

In Mississippi, in the middle of a dry spell
With Jimmy Rodgers and the Big Troller up high
Mamas dancin′ with baby on their shoulder
The sunset like a colossus in the sky
They both could sing you out of tune
And then, always wanting more
Ain't that what you′re lookin' for?

Black velvet and a little boy's smile
Black velvet with a slow southern style
A new religion that′ll bring you 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 schoolgirl
"Love Me Tender" left you cryin' in the aisle
The way you moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more
Ain′t that what you're lookin′ for?


Black velvet and a little boy's smile
Black velvet with a slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Every word of every song
That he sang for you
In a flash, it was gone
It happened so soon
What could you do?

Black velvet and a little boy′s smile
Black velvet with a slow southern style
A new religion that′ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and a little boy's smile
Black velvet with a slow southern style
A new religion that′ll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please

If you please
If you please
