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

Then I'm walking in Memphis

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 round his tomb

But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for the King

Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They're got catfish on the table

They're got gospel in the air

And Reverend Green be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer

But boy you're got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel 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 And he said -

Tell me are you a Christian child?

And I said Man I am tonight

(Chorus)
