Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodgers 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
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 heat wave
White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
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 and 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 in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
If you please
If you please
If you please
Mmhmm
Mmhmm

Mississippi no meio de um período de seca
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers bem alto na vitrola
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Uma mãe dançando com seu bebê no ombro
Mama's dancin' with a baby on her shoulder
O Sol está se pondo como melaço no céu
The Sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
O garoto sabia cantar, sabia dançar, tudo
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Sempre querendo mais
Always wanting more
Ele te deixaria querendo mais
He'd leave you longing for
Veludo negro e o sorriso daquele garotinho
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Veludo negro com aquele estilo lento do sul

Veludo negro, se me permite
Black velvet, if you please
Em Memphis, a música é como uma onda de calor
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
Relâmpago, destinado a te enlouquecer
White lightning, bound to drive you wild
Filhinho da mamãe no coração de todas as meninas da escola
Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl
Love Me Tender os deixa chorando pelos corredores
Love Me Tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
A maneira como ele se movia era um pecado, tão doce e verdadeiro
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Sempre querendo mais
Always wanting more
Ele te deixaria querendo mais
He'd leave you longing for

Cada palavra de cada canção que ele cantou foi para você
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
Num piscar de olhos, ele se foi, aconteceu tão rápido
In a flash, he was gone, it happened so soon
O que você poderia fazer?
What could you do?
Veludo negro e o sorriso daquele garotinho
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
