Walking in Memphis

I put on my blue suede shoes and I, 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 boy can be

Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do you really feel the way I feel?

I saw the ghost of Elvis down on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through, yeah
Now, security did not see him, they just hovered around his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing there's waiting for the king
Down in the jungle room

Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do you really feel the way I feel?

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
Reverend Green will be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy, you got a prayer in Memphis

Muriel plays piano every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
They asked me if I would
Do a little number and I sang with all my might
She said: Tell me, are you a Christian, child?
I said: Ma'am, I am tonight!

Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Oh, do you really feel the way I feel?

I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do you really feel the way I feel?

I put on my blue suede shoes and I, 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
