Myles Alannah - Black Velvet lyrics
rate meAllanah Myles (Black Velvet)<br />
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell<br />
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high<br />
Mama's dancin', there's a baby on her shoulder<br />
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky<br />
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything<br />
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for<br />
Chorus:<br />
Black velvet in that little boy's smile<br />
Black velvet with that slow southern style<br />
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees<br />
Black velvet if you please<br />
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave<br />
White lightening, bound to drive you wild<br />
Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl<br />
"Love me tender" leaves them cryin' in the aisles<br />
The way he moved, it was a song, so sweet and true<br />
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for<br />
Chorus:<br />
Every word of every song he sang was for you<br />
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon<br />
What could you do?<br />
Chorus:<br />
Chorus:
