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've got a first-class ticket
And I'm as blue as a boy can be
I was walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
I was walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel? Yeah
Saw the ghost of Elvis
Down on Union Avenue
I followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then 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
I was walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
Walking with my feet ten feet off of the Beale
I was walking in Memphis (walking in Memphis)
Do I really feel the way I feel? Yeah
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green, glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
You got a prayer in Memphis
♪
Now Murial 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"
