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 boy can be.

Then I'm walking in Memphis,

's walking with my feet ten feet off of a 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.

When I was walking in Memphis,

I was walking with my feet ten feet off a Beale.

Walking in Memphis

But do I really feel the way I feel.

They've got catfish on the table.

They've got gospel in the air.

And reverend Green 'd be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer.

Boy, you've got a prayer in Mephis.

Now Myriel plays piano

Every Friday at the Hollywood.

And they brought me down to see her

And they asked me if I would.

Do a little number,

And I sang with all my might,

She said,

"Tell me are you a Christian child?"

And I said, "Mam, I am tonight!".

Walking in Memphis,

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of a Beale.

Walking in Memphis.

But do I really feel the way I feel.

Walking in Mephis

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of a Beale.

Walking in Memphis,

But do I really feel the way I feel.

Put on my blue suede shoes

And I boarded the plane.
