Текст песни Black Velvet, Alannah Myles

MISSISSIPPI IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRY SPELL
JIMMY RODGERS ON THE VICTROLA UP HIGH
MAM 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

(CHORUS)
BLACK VELVET IN THAT LITTLE BOY S SMILE
BLACK VELVET IN THAT SLOW SOUTHERN STYLE
A NEW RELIGION THAT WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES
BLACK VELVET IF YOU PLEASE

UP IN MEMPHIS THE MUSIC S LIKE A HEAT WAVE
MAMA S BABY S IN THE HEART OF EVERY SCHOOLGIRL
LOVE ME TENDER LEAVES EM CRYING IN THE AISLES
THE WAY HE MOVED IT WAS A SIN SO SWEET AND TRUE
ALWAYS WANTING MORE HE D LEAVE YOU LONGING FOR

(CHORUS)

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

(8 mm break)

(CHORUS TWICE & TAGS)
