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 IN THAT 
LITTLE BOY SMILE 
BLACK VELVET IN 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 HEATWAVE 

WHITE LIGHTENIN' 
BOUND TO 
DRIVE YOU WILD 
MAMA'S BABY'S 

IN THE HEART OF 
EVERY SCHOOL GIRL 
LOVE ME TENDER 
LEAVES 'EM CRYIN' 

IN THE AISLES 
THE WAY HE MOVED 
IT WAS A SIN 
SO SWEET AND TRUE 

ALWAYS WANTING MORE
HE'D LEAVE YOU 
LONGING FOR 
BLACK VELVET IN THAT 

LITTLE BOY SMILE 
BLACK VELVET IN THAT 
SLOW SOUTHERN STYLE 
A NEW RELIGION 

THAT'LL BRING YA 
TO YOUR KNEES
