i was looking for this vid- i didn't found it so i made one up. 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 - 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

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

  • this doesnt sound like it does on the radio..i dont like this version

  • The piano introduction is so beautiful, why did you start the song AFTER it? Most of the pictures where blurry and pixelated. :(

  • I WILL LOVE THIS SONG ALWAYS

  • This song is absolutely EPIC...no, actually, beyond epic. Its lyrics evoke all of Memphis' greatest legends; I know because I was there. And whenever I hear it it brings me back to that awesome week...

    Well done w/ this vid!

  • Still walking in the Clouds after hearing this like over 150 times since it came out!
