| Marc Cohn Walking In Memphis |
| Put on my blue suede shoes... & 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 blue as a boy can be. 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 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 beale. Walking in Memphis. But do I really feel... the way I feel. They got catfish on the table. They've got gospel in the air. & Reverened 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. & They brought me down to see her. & They asked me if I would... do a little number. & I sang with all my might. She said "Tell me are you a Christian child?" & I said... Mam'... I am tonight. Walking in Memphis. Walking with my feet ten feet off of beale. Walking in Memphis. But do I really feel... the way I feel. (repeat) Put on my blue suede shoes. & 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 <<< Back To Kp's Main Index >>> |
