Verse 1:
Em
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell,
Jimmy Rogers on the Victr'la up high,
mama's dancing with baby on her shoulders,
the sun is setting like molasses in the sky.

Gsus   G             Dsus           D
always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

black velvet and that slow southern style,
Am7                    D
a new religion that'll bring you to your knees,

black velvet, if you please.

Verse 2:

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 schoolgirl,
"Love me tender" leaves'em crying in the aisle.

The way he moved it was so sweet and true,

alway wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

Every word and every song that he sang was for you,
in a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
What could you do?
