[00:00.88]Walking in Memphis
[00:01.68]Marc Cohn
[00:02.42]
[00:08.63]Put on my blue suede shoes
[00:11.46]And I boarded the plane
[00:13.61]
[00:14.79]Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
[00:18.88]In the middle of the pouring rain
[00:21.54]
[00:22.67]W C Handy -- won't you look down over me
[00:28.63]
[00:29.92]Yeah I got a first class ticket
[00:33.09]But I'm as blue as a boy can be
[00:36.22]Then I'm walking in Memphis
[00:39.05]
[00:40.26]Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
[00:43.93]Walking in Memphis
[00:45.83]
[00:47.35]But do I really feel the way I feel
[00:50.92]
[00:54.52]Saw the ghost of Elvis
[00:56.67]
[00:57.99]On Union Avenue
[01:00.62]Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
[01:03.81]
[01:04.86]Then I watched him walk right through
[01:07.26]
[01:08.31]Now security they did not see him
[01:10.71]
[01:11.60]They just hovered 'round his tomb
[01:14.73]
[01:15.35]But there's a pretty little thing
[01:17.54]Waiting for the King
[01:19.35]Down in the Jungle Room
[01:21.61]Then I'm walking in Memphis
[01:24.00]
[01:25.31]Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
[01:28.82]
[01:29.71]Walking in Memphis
[01:31.34]
[01:33.12]But do I really feel the way I feel
[01:36.26]
[01:43.00]They've got catfish on the table
[01:46.00]
[01:50.57]They've got gospel in the air
[01:53.58]
[01:57.63]And Reverend Green be glad to see you
[02:02.26]
[02:03.08]When you haven't got a prayer
[02:08.72]
[02:11.12]But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
[02:13.85]
[02:20.31]Now Muriel plays piano
[02:22.36]
[02:23.38]Every Friday at the Hollywood
[02:27.33]And they brought me down to see her
[02:31.17]And they asked me if I would --
[02:35.43]Do a little number
[02:37.55]
[02:38.20]And I sang with all my might
[02:41.76]And she said --
[02:42.76]Tell me are you a Christian child
[02:45.51]And I said Ma'am I am tonight
[02:48.84]Then I'm walking in Memphis
[02:52.34]Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
[02:55.83]Walking in Memphis
[02:57.82]
[02:59.48]But do I really feel the way I feel
[03:02.51]

[03:06.79]Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
[03:09.40]

[03:25.09]Put on my blue suede shoes
[03:28.20]And I boarded the plane
[03:30.19]

[03:35.63]In the middle of the pouring rain
[03:38.40]

[03:43.87]
