Walking In Memphis Lyrics

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
