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 got a first-class ticket And I'm blue as a boy can be
Chorus: Walking in Memphis Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But 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 'round his tomb There's a pretty little thing Waitin' on "The King" Down in the Jungle Room
[Repeat 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"
