Walking In Memphis
        (Marc Cohn)

        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
        Cause I got a first-class ticket
        And I'm as blue as a boy can be

        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
        I watched him walk right through
        Now security they did not see him
        They just hovered 'round his tomb
        There's a pretty little thing
        Waiting for "The King"
        Down in the Jungle Room

        Walking in Memphis
        Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
        Walking in Memphis
        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
        You've got a prayer in Memphis

        Now Muriel plays the 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 Christain"
        I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

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

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

        Walking in Memphis
