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,
's walking with my feet ten feet off of a 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
Then I watched him walk right through.
Now security, they did not see him.
They just hovered 'round his tomb.
But 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 a 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.
And reverend Green 'd be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer.
Boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis.
Now Gabrial 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 a 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 a Beale.
Walking in Memphis,
But do I really feel the way I feel.
Put on my blue suede shoes.
