Walking In Memphis

Put on my blue suede shoes
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain.

W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be.

Then i'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of the Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel.

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through.

Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room.

When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel.

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy you got a prayer in Memphis.

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would.

Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight".

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel.

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel.

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues.

In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain.
