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 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
When I was walking in Memphis I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel
Now, they've got catfish on the table They've got gospel in the air The Reverend Green, be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis
