[Verse 1]
Put on my blue suede shoes
And 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?
Yes 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
So I'm walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

[Verse 2]
Saw the ghost of Elvis
Down on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Security they'd not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
There's a pretty little thing
Waiting for The King
Right down in the Jungle Room
[Chorus]
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
So I'm walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

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

[Verse 3]
Now that Muriel plays the piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I could
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

[Chorus]
Then I'm walking in Memphis ('King in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
So I'm walking in Memphis ('King in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
When I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
So I'm walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel?
[Verse 1]
Put on my blue suede shoes
And 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
