Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Bm
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
Bm
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

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


[Chorus]
Em                   A
Black velvet and that little boy's smile

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 if you please...


[Bridge]
Em                 F#                        Bm
Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
Em               C                    G
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
F#             Bm
What could you do?


[Solo]
