Marc Cohn Walking in Memphis (Album Version) Lyrics

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

CHORUS:
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Bo do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him upto 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

CHORUS

They've got catfist 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
And she said -
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

CHORUS x 2

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
