American Idol Black Velvet (nikki Mckibbin) Lyrics

Black Velvet (nikki Mckibbin) Lyrics

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

Chorus:
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
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
