Song lyrics
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.
(chorus)
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 around his tomb,
But there's a pretty little thing 
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
(Chorus)
They're got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green will 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)
