 G           D                            D
There was a narrow road to that old foot path
                 A                G     D
Where the briar tangles into the musky dawn
 D         G        D
That old abandoned cabin
                  A                  G       D
Was the perfect place for forbidden love to hide

             D       G      D
She was the mayor's eldest daughter
           A                          G
She had a taste for the fruit of the vine
          D                     Bm
He was a poor boy down in that holler
 G            D    A                   D
And made his livin-in on his homemade wine

Chorus:
 G      D
Velvet Red,
 G      D
Velvet Red
           A
He'd come callin'
        G
Velvet Red
 G      D
Velvet Red,
 G      D
Velvet Red
            A
She'd come running
        G
Velvet Red

Don't you know their love grew like
the wild flowers do?
She'd start to miss him with an awful thirst
And when that sun went down, she'd go sneakin' out
And he'd be waitin', callin' out to her

Chorus:
Velvet red, velvet red
Makin' love on velvet red
Velvet red, velvet red
They were drunk on velvet red

There was a child born twenty years ago
To a mother who never wed
And though she gave no name for the father
She called her daughter Little Velvet Red

Chorus:
Velvet Red, Velvet Red
Mama calls me Velvet Red
Velvet Red (Velvet Red), Velvet Red (Velvet Red)
My mama calls me Velvet Red
