Pittsburgh, 1991

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama s dancin with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, knew how to move everything
Always wanting more, he d leave you longing for

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

Up in Memphis the music s like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama s baby s in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves em cryin in the aisle

The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he d leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet 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?

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

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

If you please, if you please, if you please
