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
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 there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for "The King"
Down in the Jungle Room

REPEAT CHORUS

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 Murial 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"

REPEAT 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 middle of the Delta Blue
In the middle of the pouring rain
