Walking In Memphis Lyrics

[00:08.73] Put on my blue suede shoes
[00:11.75] And I boarded the plane
[00:15.14] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[00:18.98] In the middle of the pouring rain
[00:23.43] W.C. Handy
[00:26.32] Won't you look down over me
[00:30.54] Yeah, I got a first class ticket
[00:33.51] But I'm as blue as a boy can be
[00:36.58] Then I'm walking in Memphis
[00:40.57] Was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[00:44.12] Walking in Memphis
[00:47.53] But do I really feel the way I feel
[00:52.44]
[00:54.82] Saw the ghost of Elvis
[00:58.41] On Union Avenue
[01:00.89] Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
[01:05.11] Then I watched him walk right through
[01:08.63] Now security they did not see him
[01:12.17] They just hovered 'round his tomb
[01:15.85] But there's a pretty little thing, waiting for the king
[01:19.73] Down in the Jungle Room
[01:22.22] When I was walking in Memphis
[01:26.38] I was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[01:30.09] Walking in Memphis
[01:33.60] But do I really feel the way I feel
[01:38.17]
[01:43.53] They've got catfish on the table
[01:48.21]
[01:51.06] They've got gospel in the air
[01:57.96] And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
[02:03.39] When you haven't got a prayer
[02:11.02] Boy, you got a prayer in Memphis
[02:16.23]
[02:20.48] Now Muriel, plays piano
[02:23.68] Every Friday at the Hollywood
[02:27.66] And they brought me down to see her
[02:31.74] And they asked me if I would
[02:35.03] To do a little number
[02:38.84] And I sang with all my might
[02:42.27] She said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
[02:45.45] And I said, "Ma'am, I am tonight"
[02:49.19] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[02:52.58] I was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[02:56.63] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[02:59.76] But do I really feel the way I feel
[03:03.50] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[03:07.27] I was walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
[03:11.08] Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
[03:14.31] But do I really feel the way I feel
[03:19.01]
[03:25.57] Put on my blue suede shoes
[03:28.50] And I boarded the plane
[03:32.15] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[03:35.94] In the middle of the pouring rain
[03:39.65] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[03:46.27] In the middle of the pouring rain
[03:53.55]
