Walking In Memphis
Marc Cohn
Walking In Memphis 歌詞
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 wont you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But Im as blue as a boy can be
Then Im 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 theres a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
Then Im walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Theyve got catfish on the table
Theyve got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you havent got a prayer
But boy youve 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
And she said
'Tell me are you a Christian child '
And I said ' Maam I am tonight'
Then Im walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Then Im walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I reallyfeel 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
