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,
Yeah I got a first class ticket,
But I´m as blue as a boy can be.

Then I´m walking in Memphis,
Was 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 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 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 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".

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.

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

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.
