Karaoké Walking in Memphis Marc Cohn

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

WC 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

I was 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

And I watched him walk right through

Now security did not see him they just hovered 'round his tomb

There's a pretty little thing waiting for the King down in the Jungle Room

When I was walking in Memphis

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale

Walking in Memphis

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 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

She said tell me are you a christian child

And I said

Ma'am I am tonight

Walking in Memphis

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale

Walking in Memphis but do I really feel the way I feel

Walking in Memphis

I was 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
