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

I was 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



Then 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?



They've got catfish on the table

They've got gospel in the air

And Reverend Green, be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer

But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis



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 my might

And she said;
