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
    Chorus:
  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
    chorus
    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?
    (Solo)
    chorus repeats 2x
    If you please, if you please, if you please
