WALKING IN MEMPHIS
MARC COHN
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 boy can be
CHORUS [ ]
Then I'm walking in Memphis
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 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room,
When I was ... [Chorus]
BRIDGE
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
[ ]
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
VERSE 3 [ ]
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
And she said "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said (N.C.) "Ma'am I am tonight"
[Chorus] x2
VERES 4 [ ]
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
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring... rain end on C
