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

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

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
They got catfish on the table They got gospel in the air Reverend Green be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
