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, won' t you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a girl can be
When 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
Well, I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
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've got catfish on the table
They' ve 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
...
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.'
