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


I saw the ghost of Elvis
Down 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

(Chorus)


They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air

And the 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)


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
