Verse
Miss' -ip- pi Mid-dle of a dry spell
Jim-my Rog-ers on Vic-trol-a up high
Ma's Danc-in' Ba-by on her shoul-der
The Sun's set-tin'
Mol- as-sis in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move.
Ev-er-y thing
Al-ways want-ing more.
He'd leave you long-ing for
Chorus
Black vel-vet
and that lit-tle boy smile
Black vel-vet
with that slow South-ern style
A new re-li-gion
that'll bring you to your knees
Black vel-vet if you please
Bridge
Ev'-ry word ev'-ry song
That he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone
It hap-pened so soon
What could you do
