Versuri Marc Cohn Walking in Memphis

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 
 
Then I'm walking in Memphis 
Was walking with my feet, ten feet off of 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 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 
 
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 
 
They've got catfish on the table 
They've got gospel in the air 
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you 
When you haven't got a prayer 
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 
 
To 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"
