Michael Ball - Walking In Memphis lyrics

rate me

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 was walking in Memphis

I was walking with my feet ten feet off the Beale

Walking in Memphis

But do I really feel the way I feel?

So the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue

Followed him up to the gates of Graceland

Then I've watched him walk right through

Now security 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 a 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 would be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer

But, boy you got a prayer in Memphis

Now Murielle plays piano

Every Friday at the Hollywood

And they took me down to see her

And asked me if I would

Just do a little number,

And so I sang with all my might

She said tell me are you a Christian child

And I said

Mam I am tonight

Walking in Memphis

I was walking with my feet ten feet off the 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 a Beale

Walking in Memphis

But do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes
