Lyrics
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell,
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high.
Mama's dancing with a baby on her shoulder,
the sun is setting like molasses in the sky.
(A)The boy could sing,
knew how to (G)move ev'rything.
(F)Always wanting more,
(C)he'd leave you longing (Dm)for
(Gm)Black Velvet and that (C)little boy's smile,
(Gm)Black Velvet with that (Eb)slow southern (Bb)style.
(Gm)A new religion that'll (C)bring you to your knees.
(Bb)Black (A)Velvet, if you (Dm)please.
