LONESTAR - Walking In Memphis lyrics

rate me

Walking In Memphis

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've got a first class ticket

And I'm 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

Down 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 'round his tomb

There's a pretty little thing

Waiting ON the King

Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

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 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 Christian?"

And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

[Repeat Chorus 3x]
