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 - wonUt you look down over me

Yeah I got a first class ticket

But IUm as blue as a boy can be



Then IUm 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 Tround his tomb

But thereUs a pretty little thing

Waiting for the King

Down in the Jungle Room



(Chorus)



TheyUve got catfish on the table

TheyUve got gospel in the air

And Reverend Green be glad to see you

When you havenUt got a prayer

But boy youUve 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 meif I would -

Do a little number

And I sang with all my might

And she said -

RTell me are you a Christian child?S

And I said RMaUam I am tonightS



(Chorus)



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
