Walking in Memphis

AlphabetLyrics.com


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 girl can be

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

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

[Chorus]

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 gabriel plays piano
Every friday at the hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
And they asked me if I would - do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And he said - tell me are you a christian child?
And I said man I am tonight

[Chorus]

Put on my blue suede shoes
