Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell, Jimmie Rodgers on the lectro up high
  Mamas dancing, baby on her shoulder, the sun is setting like molasses in the sky

                The boy could sing, he knew how to move everything
                                 D
Always wanting more, leaves you longing for

Black velvet in that little boy's smile, black velvet with that slow southern style
Am                            D                                C5            B5(stac.) E5
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
  Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
  Love Me Tender leaves em cryin' in the aisles

              The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true
