Walking in Memphis (Album «It's a Man's World», 1995) ====================================...
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 girl 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 UNIОN 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 Around 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 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 him And they asked me if I would - Do a little number And I sang with all my might And he said - Tell me are you a Christian child? And I said Man I am tonight
