Walking In Memphis (2024 Remaster)

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Then I'm 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?

[Verse 2]

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 around his tomb

But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the king

Down in the Jungle Room

[Chorus]

When I was 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?

Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (Oh)

Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)

But do I really feel the way I feel?

[Bridge]

They got catfish on the table (Ooh)

They got gospel in the air (Ah)

Reverend Green will be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer

But boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now, Gabriel 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

He said, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"

And I said "Man, I am tonight"

[Chorus]

Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (Oh)

Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)

But do I really feel the way I feel?

Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale (Oh)

Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis)

But do I really feel the way I feel?

[Outro]

Put on my blue suede shoes
