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 	
WC 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 	
I was walking with my feet ten feet off a beel 		
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 	
And I watched him walk right through 	
Now security they did not see him		
They just huddled round his tomb 	
There's a pretty little thing waiting for the King 	
Down in the jungle room		
	
Then I'm walking in Memphis 	
I was walking with my feet ten feet off a beel 		
Walking in Memphis 	
But do I really feel the way I feel

Then I'm walking in Memphis 	
I was walking with my feet ten feet off a beel		
Walking in Memphis 	
But do I really feel the way I feel

They got catfish on the table 	
They got gospel in the air 	
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 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 

Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off a beel 
Walking in Memphis 	
But do I really feel the way I feel

Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off a beel 
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
