Emily 'Tiger' Horton - Black Velvet Lyrics

[1] Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell…
Jimmy Rogers on the Vic’trola up high…
Mama’s dancing…with a baby on her shoulders…
The sun is setting like molasses in the sky…
The boy could sing…. knew how to move…everything…
Always wanting more…he’d leave you longing for

[CHO:] BLACK VELVET…IN THAT LITTLE BOY SMILE..
BLACK VELVET…IN THAT SLOW, SOUTHERN STYLE…
A NEW RELIGION THAT’LL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES…
BLACK VELVET…IF YOU PLEASE…

[2] Up in Memphis…the music’s like a heat wave…
White lightning’s bound to drive you wild…
Mama’s baby’s… in the heart of every school girl…
Love me tender…leaves ‘em crying in the aisles..
The way he moved…it was a sin…so sweet and true…
Always wanting more..he’d leave you longing for..

[CHO:] BLACK VELVET…IN THAT LITTLE BOY SMILE..
BLACK VELVET…IN THAT SLOW, SOUTHERN STYLE…
A NEW RELIGION THAT’LL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES…
BLACK VELVET…IF YOU PLEASE…

Every word of every song that he sang was for you…
[Backgrounds] .ooh….ooh…
In a flash..he was gone….it happened so soon…
What could you do?
