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
And watched him
walk right through
Now security they
did not see him
They just hovered
around his tomb
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
I was walking
with my feet
ten feet off of Beale
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'll be
glad to see you
When you haven't got
a prayer
But boy you've got
a prayer in Memphis
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
I was walking
with my feet
ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel
the way I feel?
