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
cause i got a first-class ticket
and i'm as blue as a boy can be
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
i watched him walk right through
now security they did not see him
they just hovered 'round his tomb
there's a pretty little thing
waiting on "the king"
down in the jungle room
Walking in memphis
walking with my feet ten feet off of beale
walking in memphis
do i really feel the way i feel
They've got catfish on the table
they've got gospel in the air
and reverend green be glad to see you
when you haven't got a prayer
you've got a prayer in memphis
Now muriel plays the piano
every friday at the hollywood
and they brought me down to see her
and they asked me if i would
do a little number
and i sang with all my might
she said
"tell me are you a christain"
i said "ma'am i am tonight"
Walking in memphis
walking with my feet ten feet off of beale
walking in memphis
but do i really feel the way i feel
Walking in memphis
walking with my feet ten feet off of beale
walking in memphis
but do i really feel the way i feel
Walking in memphis
