Put on my blue suede shoes,
And I board-ed 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,
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 seâ??curity 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,

When 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 Holly-wood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little num-ber
And I sang with all my might
And she said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said,"Ma'am I am to-night"

Walking in Memphis, (Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale. (Walk, walk, walk)
Walking in Memphis, (Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel? (Walk, walk, walk)
Walking in Memphis, (Walking in Memphis)
I was Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale. (Walk, walk, walk)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Outro
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.
