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
|F4 F |C9 |
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
|Gm |C4 C |
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
|Gm |Eb Bb |
Black velvet with that slow southern style
|Gm |C4 C |
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
