1. Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell, Jamie Rogers on electro up high,

2. Up in Memphis the music is like a heat wave white Lightnin', bound to drive you wild.

1. Mama’s dancing, baby on her shoulder, the sun is setting like molasses in the sky.

2. Mama’s baby is in the heart of every school girl. “Love me tender” leaves ‘em cryin' in the isles.

1. The boy could sing and knew how to move, everything, always wanting more, it leaves you longing for .

2. The way he moved it was a sin, so sweet and true,always wanting more it leaves you longing for.

Black velvet in that little boy's smile, black velvet with that slow southern style,

a new religion that'll bring you to your knees, black velvet, if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang is for you,

in a flash he was gone, it happened so soon - - - what could you do?
