Wouter - 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'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

Then I watched him walk right through

Now security they 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

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

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 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

And he said - Tell me are you a Christian child?

And I said Man I am tonight

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

Put on my blue suede shoes
