put on my blue suede shoes and i boarded a 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 got a first class ticket

but i'm as blue as a boy can be

then i'm walking in memphis

walking in memphis

i was walking with my feet ten feet off a beer

walking in memphis

walking in memphis

but do i really feel the way i feel

saw the ghost of elvis

and you will never knew

i followed him up to the gates of graceland

and then i watched him walk right through

now security they did not see him

they just hovered around his tomb

but there's a pretty little thing waiting for a king

down in his jungle room

when i was walking in memphis

walking in memphis

i was walking with my feet ten feet off of beer

walking in memphis

walking in memphis

but do i really feel the way i feel

they got catfish on the table

they got gospel in the air reverend green

glad to see you when you haven't got a prayer

but 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 well 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

walking in memphis

i was walking with my feet ten feet off the feet

walking in memphis

walking in memphis

but do i really feel the way i feel

oh walking in memphis

walking in memphis

i was walking with my feet ten feet off my feet

walking in memphis

walking in memphis

but do i really feel the way i feel

put on my blue suede shoes and i boarded a plane

touched down in the land of the delta blues

in the middle of the pouring rain
