Black Velvet Lyrics - Singles - Myles Alannah

Allanah Myles (Black Velvet) 

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell 

Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high 

Mama's dancin', there's a 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 

Chorus: 

Black velvet in that little boy's smile 

Black velvet with that 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 heat wave 

White lightening, bound to drive you wild 

Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl 

"Love me tender" leaves them cryin' in the aisles 

The way he moved, it was a song, so sweet and true 

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for 

Chorus: 

Every word of every song he sang was for you 

In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon 

What could you do? 

Chorus: 

Chorus:
