"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
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

I 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 did not see him
They just hovered round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
And she's 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?

Now, 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 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
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!"

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?

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?

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


 
The song "Walking in Memphis" written by Marc Cohn who was discovered by singer/sonwriter Carly Simon was written after seeing an Al Green sermon in Memphis. He wrote it b/c he believed that it is a journey to baptized in the world of blues music. W.C. Handy whom he mentions in the song is a blues legend that he was paying his respects to and greatly inspired Marc Cohn to enter into the music industry. In addition, the song states and i was walking with my feet ten feet off of beale. He is referring to an actual street called beale steet in memphis where beale street blues boy got his start and later became known as the legendary B.B. King This song is paying homage to the great B.B. King, W.C. Handy, and Elvis Presley. I hope this helps, it's a great song!
