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

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

I watched him walk right through

Now secured that I did not see him

He 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

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're got catfish on the table

They're 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 the Beale

Walking in Memphis

But do I really feel the way I feel?

Put on my blue suede shoes
