“Walking In Memphis”
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’ve got a first class ticket
But I’m as blue as a boy can be
Then I’m 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?[DRUMS START]
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[BASS STARTS] they did not see him
They just
Hovered around his tomb
But there’s a pretty little thing
Waiting for The King
Down[ALL STOP] in the Jungle Room
[FLOOR TOM BUILD]When I was walking in Memphis[CRASH/START]
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel[DRUMS STOP]
They’ve got catfish on the table
They’ve got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green
Would be glad to see you
When you haven’t got a prayer[ALL STOP]
But boy you’ve got a prayer in Memphis [PIANO START]
[ONLY PIANO]
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would [BASS START]
Do a little number [DRUMS CROSS STICK 1/2 TIME]
And I sang with all my might
She said
“Tell me are you a Christian child?”
And I said [THWACK!/STOP][
“Ma’am I am tonight”
Walking in Memphis
(“WALKING IN MEMPHIS”)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(“WALKING IN MEMPHIS”)
But do I really feel the way I feel
Walking in Memphis
(“WALKING IN MEMPHIS”)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(“WALKING IN MEMPHIS”)
But do I really feel the way I feel [CRASH/STOP]
[PIANO]
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
ADD BASS
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring
Rain
[PIANO END]
