And I b oarde d the p lane
T ouched down in the l and of the D elta B lues

Y eah I got a f irst cla ss ticket
But I'm as b lue as a b oy can b e

W alking with my f eet ten f eet off of B eale
W alking in M emphis
B ut do I really f eel the way I f eel?
S aw the g host of E lvis
O n Un ion Av enue
F ollowed him u p to the g ates of G raceland
Then I w atched him w alk right t hrough
Now sec urity they d id not s ee him
They just h overed 'r ound his t omb
But there's a p retty little t hing W aiting for the K ing

Down in the Jungle Room

W alking with my f eet ten f eet off of B eale
W alking in M emphis

They've got catfish on the ta ble
They've got gospel in the ai r
And Reverend Green b e glad to s ee you
When you h aven't got a p rayer
But boy you've got a prayer in M emphis
N ow Muriel p lays p iano
E very F riday at the H ollyw ood
A nd they b rought me down to s ee her
A nd they a sked me if I w ould
D o a l ittle n umber
And I s ang with a ll my m ight
And she said "T ell me are y ou a C hristian c hild?"

And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
