Walking in Memphis

Lyrics

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 be glad to see you
 When you haven't got a prayer
 But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
 ♪
 Now 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?
 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?
