--- Start Of Lyrics To 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 boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis ... 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 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

Then I'm walking in Memphis ... walking with my feet ten 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
But boy you've 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
And she said .... tell me are you a Christian child ... and I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Then I'm walking in Memphis ... 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 with my feet ten 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
