CHER lyrics - 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 girl can be

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



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 Tround his tomb

But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for the King

Down in the Jungle Room



[Chorus]



They're got catfish on the table

They're got gospel in the air

And Reverend Green be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer



But boy you're got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood

And they brought me down to see him

And they asked me if I would - Do a little number

And I sang with all my might And he said -

Tell me are you a Christian child?

And I said Man I am tonight



(Chorus)
