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
|
'round his tomb
|
But there's a pretty little thing
|
Waiting for the King Down in the Jungle Room
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
|
Now Gabriel 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]
|
|
Put on my blue suede shoes
|
