Walking in Memphis

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 Yeah I got a first class ticket But I'm as blue as a girl can be [Chorus] Then I'm walking in Memphis I was 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 On Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of Graceland 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 the King Down in the Jungle Room [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 boy you're got a prayer in Memphis Now Gabriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see him And they asked me if I would, Do a little number And I sang with all my might, he said, Tell me are you a Christian child? And I said That I am tonight [Chorus]
