That's Alright Now Mama

~~~~~

Mama loved to shake her hips

to those smooth whiskey moans

of that black velvet pelvis

jerkin’ from the backbone down

And she sang along

in her cool southern drawl

wet with the sweat

from the heat of the moment

He was her man

and she was Ann Margaret

dancin’ in the sand on a Vegas vacation

And I would dance too

in the shadow of her dream

of smooth whiskey moans

and black velvet kisses

~~~~~

Elvis has indeed - but your deft poetic touch certainly hasn't

Wonderfully penned hun.
