Walking In Memphis

Marc Cohn

    Continues after the ad

    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 10 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 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 10 feet off of Beale
    Walking in Memphis
    But do I really feel the way I feel

    Now, they've got catfish on the table
    They've got gospel in the air
    The Reverend Green, be glad to see you
    When you haven't got a prayer

    But boy you 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
    She said, "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"
    And i said, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"

    When I was walking in Memphis
    I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
    Walking in Memphis
    But do I really feel the way I feel

    Walking in Memphis
    I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
    Walking in Memphis
    But do I really feel the way I feel

    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
    Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
    In the middle of the pouring rain
