[Verse 1] Dm Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell; Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high. Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders, The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky. AsusAGsusG The boy could soon know how to move everything; FsusFCsusC Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
[Chorus] GmCsusC Black Velvet in that little boy's smile. GmD#A# Black velvet in with that slow southern style. GmC A new religion that'll bring you to your knees, A#ADm Black velvet, if you please.
