[Verse 1]
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've got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
I saw the ghost of Elvis
Down 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
There's a pretty little thing
Waiting for The King
Down in the Jungle Room
[Chorus]
Then I was walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Was walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

[Bridge]
Yeah, 'cause they've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And the Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Yeah in Memphis

[Verse 3]
Now Muriel 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 of my might
She said "Tell me are you a Christian, son?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

[Chorus]
I was walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (Walk, walk, walk)
Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
I'm walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (Walk, walk, walk)
Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Verse 1]
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
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

[Outro]
In the pouring rain
Won't you look down over me, yeah?
In the middle of the pouring rain
