Walking In Memphis

Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis

put on my blue suede shoes
and i boarded a plane
touched down in the land of the delta blues
in the middle of the pouring rain

wc hand, 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 you
walking in memphis
but do i really feel the way i feel

saw the ghost of elvis
on union avenue
followed him up to gates of graceland
then i watched him walk right through
now security they did not see him
they just hovered around his tomb
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 you
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
river and green
be glad to see you
then you haven't got a prayer
boy you got a prayer in memphis

Uriel plays piano
every friday up at 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 "man i am tonight!"

walking in memphis
(walking in memphis)
was walking with my feet ten feet off of you
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 you
walking in memphis
(walking in memphis)
but do i really feel the way i feel

put on my blue suede shoes and i boarded a 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
