Put on my blue sweet shoes and I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the delta blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
WC Handy,
won't you look down over me
Yeah,
I got a first class ticket
And I'm as blue as a boy can be
I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of
me 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 Greensland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered around 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 me
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
Reverend Green,
be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer
But boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Walking in Memphis I was walking with my feet ten feet off of me
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis I was walking with my feet ten feet off of me
Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel?
