Walking in Memphis Lyrics

[00:07.19] Put on my blue suede shoes
[00:11.40] And I boarded the plane
[00:13.55] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[00:16.95] In the middle of the pouring rain
[00:21.56] W.C. Handy
[00:25.75] Won't you look down over me
[00:28.78] Yeah, I got a first class ticket
[00:32.33] But I'm as blue as a boy can be
[00:34.52] Then I'm walking in Memphis
[00:38.14] Was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[00:42.79] Walking in Memphis
[00:46.64] But do I really feel the way I feel
[00:51.55]
[00:54.00] Saw the ghost of Elvis
[00:57.43] On Union Avenue
[01:00.23] Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
[01:03.38] Then I watched him walk right through
[01:07.27] Now security they did not see him
[01:10.36] They just hovered 'round his tomb
[01:14.59] But there's a pretty little thing, waiting for the king
[01:18.83] Down in the Jungle Room
[01:20.37] When I was walking in Memphis
[01:25.67] I was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[01:28.65] Walking in Memphis
[01:32.04] But do I really feel the way I feel
[01:36.60]
[01:42.25] They've got catfish on the table
[01:46.94]
[01:49.54] They've got gospel in the air
[01:56.30] And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
[02:01.86] When you haven't got a prayer
[02:07.98] Boy, you got a prayer in Memphis
[02:13.19]
[02:20.12] Now Muriel, plays piano
[02:22.68] Every Friday at the Hollywood
[02:27.26] And they brought me down to see her
[02:30.32] And they asked me if I would
[02:33.74] To do a little number
[02:36.92] And I sang with all my might
[02:40.88] She said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
[02:45.19] And I said, "Ma'am, I am tonight"
[02:47.29] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[02:51.99] I was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[02:54.63] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[02:58.34] But do I really feel the way I feel
[03:02.08] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[03:06.05] I was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[03:09.34] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[03:12.90] But do I really feel the way I feel
[03:17.61]
[03:24.30] Put on my blue suede shoes
[03:27.62] And I boarded the plane
[03:30.79] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[03:34.95] In the middle of the pouring rain
[03:38.73] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[03:42.62] In the middle of the pouring rain
[03:49.90]
