Black Velvet
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
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
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon
What could you do?
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Terciopelo Negro
Mississippi en medio de una sequía
Jimmy Rogers en la Victrola bien alta
Mamá bailando con el bebé en brazos
El sol se pone como melaza en el cielo
El chico sabía cantar, sabía cómo moverlo todo
Siempre queriendo más, te dejaba anhelando
Terciopelo negro y la sonrisa de ese chico
Terciopelo negro con ese estilo sureño lento
Una nueva religión que te hará caer de rodillas
Terciopelo negro, si te place
En Memphis la música es como una ola de calor
Licor blanco, seguro que te enloquecerá
El bebé de mamá está en el corazón de cada colegiala
