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



Chorus:

Then I'm walking in Memphis

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of the 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



Repeat 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 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!



Repeat chorus
