Black Velvet Lyrics
Artist(Band):Alannah Myles
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder
The Sun is setting 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 and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
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 lightning, 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.
CHORUS:
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you 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?
CHORUS:
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
If you please
If you please

Review about Black Velvet
Great!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/2/09
This is one of my favorites. It's about A southern boy and his charms. I lived in TN. for 2 years, and I'm still a southern girl. (The accent come out when I get mad, when I'm in a hurry, and when I say Tennessee, it's there.)
Elvis and Black Velvet | Reviewer: katherine | 2/11/08
I do agree with Natasha and Marina. It is about Elvis. He was originally from Tupelo Mississippi and later on came Memphis Tennessee. :) If I'm not mistaken I think a pet name for his mom was "velvet." Others have tried to sing this song but Alannah's is the best.
Black Velvet | Reviewer: Natasha | 11/7/07
I adore this song,she (Alannah) has such a great voice.I agree with Marina about it being about Elvis,for all of her points plus the fact "love me tender" is namechecked and he lived in Memphis (his Graceland home) which is also mentioned,plus I'm pretty sure he came from Mississippi :)
Anyway,Elvis aside,this is an amazing song :)
Oh my gosh!!! | Reviewer: Seras | 8/24/07

When I've heard "Black Velvet" on the way back in the late 80's since I was about six | Reviewer: Alyssa | 6/12/07
I think "Black Velvet" is a pretty good song by the canadian rock female singer Alannah Myles, I guess Alannah Myles is a great singer and she's got a great voice, Her voice is very smooth and beautiful, When I've heard that song on the way in the late 80's since I was about six.
Elvis perhaps? | Reviewer: Marina 13 from Germany | 4/9/07
Ithink this song is about Elvis.
He could dance, girls were crying and his death happend to soon. That makes sense to me.
Don't ya think???
