Lyrics

[00:08.06] Put on my blue suede shoes
[00:10.45] And I boarded the plane.
[00:14.35] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[00:18.44] In the middle of the pouring rain.
[00:22.61] W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me?
[00:29.50] Yeah, I got a first class ticket
[00:32.65] But I'm as blue as a boy can be.
[00:35.73] Then I'm walking in Memphis,
[00:39.88] Walking with my feet ten feet off of a Beale.
[00:43.60] Walking in Memphis.
[00:46.87] But do I really feel the way I feel.
[00:54.04] Saw the ghost of Elvis
[00:57.63] On Union Avenue.
[01:00.09] Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
[01:04.44] Then I watched him walk right through.
[01:07.85] Now, security, they did not see him.
[01:11.22] They just hovered 'round his tomb.
[01:15.11] But there's a pretty little thing
[01:17.34] Waiting for the King
[01:19.26] Down in the Jungle Room.
[01:21.21] When I was walking in Memphis,
[01:25.56] Walking with my feet ten feet off a Beale.
[01:29.40] Walking in Memphis.
[01:32.92] But do I really feel the way I feel.
[01:42.48] They've got catfish on the table.
[01:50.01] They've got gospel in the air.
[01:57.14] And Reverend Green be glad to see you
[02:02.66] When you haven't got a prayer.
[02:10.63] Well you've got a prayer in Mephis
[02:20.14] Now Gabriel plays piano
[02:22.96] Every Friday at the Hollywood.
[02:27.14] And they Green be glad to see you asked me if I would
[02:34.94] Do a little number,
[02:38.02] And I sang with all my might,
[02:41.23] She said,
[02:42.24] "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
[02:44.67] And I said, "Mam, I am tonight."
[02:48.45] I'm walking in Memphis,
[02:51.97] Walking with my feet ten feet off of a Beale.
[02:55.63] Walking in Memphis.
[02:59.15] But do I really feel the way I feel.
[03:02.60] Walking in Mephis
[03:06.38] I was walking with my feet ten feet off of a Beale.
[03:09.96] Walking in Memphis.
[03:13.61] But do I really feel the way I feel.
[03:24.55] Put on my blue suede shoes
[03:26.94] And I boarded the plane.
[03:30.90] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[03:35.25] In the middle of the pouring rain.
[03:38.64] Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[03:45.76] In the middle of the pouring rain.
[04:01.79]
