MARC COHN lyrics : "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 - wont you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket

But Im as blue as a boy can be

Then Im 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 theres a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King

Down in the Jungle Room

Then Im walking in Memphis

Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel



Theyve got catfish on the table

Theyve got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you havent got a prayer

But boy youve 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 "Maam I am tonight"


Then Im 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

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
