Lyrics
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded a plane. Touchdown 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 when I was walking in Memphis.
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of the Beale.
Walking in Mephis.
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue. I followed him up to the gates of Graceland, 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.
When I was 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?
They've got catfish on the table.
They've got Gospel in the air.
And Reverand Green would be glad to see you,
when you haven't got a prayer.
Oh, you know you've got a prayer in Mempis.
Muriel plays piano,
every Friday at the Hollywood.
And they brought me down to see her;
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 walking with my feet ten feet off of the Beale.
Walking in Memphis,
but do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
Oh, I'm walking with my feet ten feet off of the Beale.
Walking in Memphis
Oh, but do I really feel the way I feel?
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded a plane.
Touchdown in the land of the Delta Blues
in the middle of the pouring rain.
Touchdown in the land of the Delta Blues
in the middle of the pouring rain.
