Allanah Myles

^Dmi 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
^A The boy could sing, knew how to ^G move, everything
^F Always wanting more, ^C he'd leave you longing for

Chorus:
^Gmi Black velvet in that ^C little boy's smile
^Gmi Black velvet with that ^D# slow southern ^B style
^Gmi A new religion that'll ^C bring you to your knees
^B Black ^A velvet if you ^Dmi 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:
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

^Gmi Every word of every ^A song he sangs was for ^Dmi you
^Gmi In a flash he was ^D# gone, it happened so ^B soon ^A
What could you do? ^Dmi

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

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.
