Walking in Memphis

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

Then I’m walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of 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 around 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 ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (oh oh oh)

Walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel

They got catfish on the table (ooh ooh)
They got gospel in the air (oh oh)
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven’t got a prayer
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis

Now Gabriel plays piano every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number and I sang with all my might
He said: Tell me are you a Christian child?
And I said: Man I am tonight

Walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (oh oh oh)
Walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel
Walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (oh oh oh)
Walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes
