Put on my blue suede shoes

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 boy can be



Then i'm walking in Memphis

Was walking with my feet ten feet off of the 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 10 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

And Reverend Green be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer

Boy you got a prayer in Memphis



Now Muriel plays 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 child?"

And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"



Walking in Memphis

I was walking with my feet 10 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 10 feet off of Beale

Walking in Memphis

But do I really feel the way I feel



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

Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues

In the middle of the pouring rain
