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 girl can be
CHORUS:
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
And 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
Chorus x 2
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Rev. Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Gabriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
He said, tell me
Are you a christian child
And I said man I am tonight
Chorus x 2
Put on my blue suede shoes
