[Verse 1]
I put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded a 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
I was 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
On Union Avenue
I followed him up to the gates of Graceland
And I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered around his tomb
Well there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for The King
Down in the Jungle Room
[Chorus]
Well I was 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?

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

[Verse 3]
Now Muriel plays the 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 child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

[Chorus]
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?
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?
