This title is a cover of Walking In Memphis as made famous by Paul Anka

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
Yes I got a first class ticket but
I'm as blue as a boy can be
Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
I saw the ghost of Elvis on Union avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
And watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They're just hovered around his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
She's down in the jungle room
And I'm ah walking in ah Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way that I feel
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
The river in green he'll be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
You got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel she plays piano that's every friday at the Hollywood
They brought me down there to see her
And they they asked me if I would
And I said uh sure I'll do a little rumble
And I sang with all of my might
And she said, tell me are you a christian child and I said, Ma'am I am tonight
Walking in uh Memphis walking with my feet ten feet off Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I feel the way I feel
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off 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 a pouring rain
I touched down in the land of the delta blues
It was in the middle of the pouring rain
