Les paroles de la chanson
« Walking in memphis »
Cher

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 girl could 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?

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 huddled round his tomb
There’s a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the jungle room

Well I was 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?

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But I do I really feel the way I feel?

They’ ve got catfish on the table
They’ ve got gospel in the air
Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven’t got a prayer
But boy you 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
He said "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"
And I said "Man I am tonight!"

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?
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?

Put on my blue suede shoes
