         Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

         Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high

         Mama's dancin', baby on her shoulder

         Sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
         B                               A
         The boy could sing, knew how to move everything
         G                    D
         Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

         Chorus
         Am                   D
         Black Velvet in that little boy smile
         Am                   F             C
         Black Velvet in that slow southern style
         Am                     D
         A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
         C     B             Em
         Black Velvet if you please

         Em
         Up in Memphis, the music's like a heatwave

         White lightning, bound to drive you wild

         Mama's baby in the heart of every schoolgirl

         "Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
         B                         A
         The way he moved it was a sin, so sweet and true
         G                    D
         Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

         (Chorus)

         Am                  B7                        Em
         Every word of every song that he sang was for you ooooooo
         Am                    F                    C
         In a flash and he was gone it happened too soon
         B              Em
         What could you do

         (Instrumental) Em

         (Chorus x2)
