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 pourin' rain...

W. C. Handy, won't ya look down over me, Oh, I got a first class ticket, But I'm as blue as a boy can be. 
I'm walkin' in Memphis, Walkin' with my feet 10 feet off of Beale, 
Walkin, 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, And I watched him walk right through. 
Now Security they did not see him, They just huddled round his tomb, 
There's a pretty little thing, waiting for The King, Down in the Jungle Room. 
They got catfish on the table, they got gospel in the air, 
River in green, be glad to see you, When you haven't got a care, Oh you got a prayer in Memphis... 
Muriel played piano every Friday at the Hollywood, And they took me down to see her, And she asked me if I could, Do a little number, so I sang with all my might, 
And she said "Tell me are you a Christian child?", And I said, "Ma'am I am tonight!" 
I'm walkin' in Memphis, Walkin' with my feet ten feet off of Beale, I'm walkin' in Memphis, But do I really feel the way I feel... |
