Dm
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Dm
Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high
Dm
Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders
Dm
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
A G
The boy could soon know how to move everything
F C
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
*Chorus*
Gm C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
Gm D# A#
Black velvet in with that slow southern style
Gm C
A new religon that'll bring you to your knees
A# A Dm
Black velvet, if you please
Verse 2
Dm
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
Dm
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Dm
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
Dm
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles
A G
The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true
F C
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Chorus
Break
Gm A Dm
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
Gm D# A#
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon
A Dm
What could you do ?
