Walking in Memphis Songtext
von Paolo Santos

Put on my blue suede shoes, and I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blue
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won′t you look down over me?
Got a first class ticket, but I'm blue as a boy can be

When I′m walking in Memphis
Just walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do you really feel the way I feel?

Saw the ghost of Elvis in Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
And I watched him walk right through
Yes, security didn't see him
They just hovered around his tomb
And there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room


When I′m walking in Memphis
Just walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do you really feel the way I feel?

Oh, there′s a catfish on the table
And there's gospel in the air
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
When you haven′t got a prayer

Boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Muriel plays piano every Friday in Hollywood
Brought me down to see her, and they asked me if I could
Do a little number, and I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"
I said, "Ma′am, I am tonight"

Walking in Memphis
Just walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do you really feel the way I feel?

Walking in Memphis
Just walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do you 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 Blue
In the middle of the pouring rain
