Walking in Memphis
Marc Cohn
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 boy can be…
Them I'm walking in Memphis ,
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Walking in Memphis ,
But do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union avenue ,
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland .
Then I Watched him walk right through Now, se
Curity 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 jung le room
Them I'm walking in Memphis ,
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Walking in Memphis ,
But do I really feel the way I feel
They've got Kafier show non the table
They've got go spelin the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
when you haven't got a Prayer
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis …
Now, Muriel plays piano
Every friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I Sang with all my might She said "
Tell me, are you a Christian, child?" And I said
Ma'am, I am tonight."
Them I'm walking in Memphis ,
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Walking in Memphis ,
But do I really feel the way I feel
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 |
