The Lost Fingers

Black Velvet

Lyricist:David Michael Tyson, Christopher William Ward

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with a 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 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

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

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

If you please
If you please
If you please
