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:
NCR Morris
: A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
: Black velvet if you please
What sort of religion would entail worshipping Black Velvet? Sounds
like a scary religious cult to me. I expect the record has a subliminal
message- 'Worship Black Velvet... Worship Black Velvet'
NEIL
Steve or Peggy Elliott
Sorry, that was a typo. Please worship Velveeta from now on.

on black velvet.
Charlie Glasgow
to a race horse named "Black Velvet" who was being ridden by Elvis
Presley's 3rd cousin while drinking cheap immatation Black Velvet
whiskey known as "Blue Flannel slurpin' whiskey".
Just thought I'd clear up the misconception here. BTW...
The girl who sang a similar song is sometimes confused with the
horse with same name...

Sorry i dont have the lyrics, but i can offer that the songwriter
[whose name i forget] wrote it as a homage to Elvis, the king of
black velvet artwork.
It begins talking about his youth in tupaloo[mississippi]
Elvis has left the building,

Here ya go:
BLACK VELVET
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell,
Jimmy Rodgers on the victrola up high,
Momma's dancin', there's a baby on her shoulders,
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
I can see you knew how to do everything.
Always wantin' more, it'll leave you longing for...
Black velvet in the little boy's smile
Black velvet with that soft 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 lightnin' bound to drive you wild.
Mamma's baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl
Love me tender leaves them cryin' in the isles.
The way you moved it was a song so sweet and true,
Always wantin' more, It'll leave you longing for...
Black velvet in the little boy's smile
Black velvet with that soft southern style.
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
(GUITAR FILL)
Every word in every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
What could you really do?
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Black velvet in the little boy's smile
Black velvet with that soft southern style.
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Black velvet in the little boy's smile
Black velvet with that soft southern style.
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
