.walking In Memphis - Marc Cohn Lyrics - Classic Songs, My Way - Paul Anka

Artist: Mark Cohn 

Title: Walking In Memphis. 

Put on my blue suede shoes and I 

boarded the plane 

Touched down the in land of the Delta Blues 

In the middle of the pouring rain. 

W.C. Handy - won't you look down over me 

Yeah, I've 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 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 Reverand Green, be glad to see you 

When you haven't got a prayer 

But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel play 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 

She said 'Tell me are you a Christian child' 

and I said, "ma'am I am tonight' 

Chorus
