Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Am
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder

The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
E                              G
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
C                   G
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for...

Dm                   G
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Dm                     A#             F
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Dm                    G
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Am
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
Am
White lightening, bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl

"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
E                         G
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for...

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please...

[Bridge]
Dm                 E                        Am
Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
Dm               A#                    F
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
E             Am
What could you do?
