Lyrics

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
'Cause, I've got a first class ticket
And I'm as blue as a boy can be

Chorus:
I'm walking in memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of the beale
Walking in memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of elvis
Down 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 on the king
Down in the jungle room

(Chorus)

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 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 christian?"
And I said, "ma'am I am tonight"

[Repeat chorus 3x]
