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
