Walking In Memphis
Marc Cohn
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 got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
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 hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
When 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?
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But, boy, you've 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
She said
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight"

Put on my blue suede shoes
Ho messo le mie scarpe di camoscio blu
And I boarded the plane
E sono salito sull'aereo
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
Atterrato nella terra del Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
In mezzo alla pioggia battente
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
WC. Handy, non vuoi guardarmi dall'alto in basso?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
Sì, ho un biglietto di prima classe
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Ma sono triste come può esserlo un ragazzo
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Poi sto camminando a Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Stavo camminando con i miei piedi a dieci piedi da Beale
Walking in Memphis
Passeggiando per Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Ma mi sento davvero come mi sento?
Saw the ghost of Elvis
Ho visto il fantasma di Elvis
On Union Avenue
Su Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Lo seguì fino alle porte di Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Poi l'ho visto passare attraverso
Now security they did not see him
Beh, la sicurezza non l'ha visto
They just hovered 'round his tomb
Si aggiravano intorno alla sua tomba
But there's a pretty little thing
Ma c'è una piccola cosa carina
Waiting for the King
Aspettando il Re
Down in the Jungle Room
Giù nella stanza della giungla
When I was walking in Memphis
Quando stavo camminando a Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Stavo camminando con i piedi a dieci piedi da Beale
Walking in Memphis
Passeggiando per Menfi
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Ma mi sento davvero come mi sento?
They've got catfish on the table
Hanno il pesce gatto sul tavolo
They've got gospel in the air
Hanno il vangelo nell'aria
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
E il reverendo Green sia felice di vederti
When you haven't got a prayer
Quando non hai una preghiera
But, boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Ma, ragazzo, hai una preghiera a Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano
Ora Muriel suona il piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
Ogni venerdì all'Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
E mi hanno portato giù per vederla
And they asked me if I would
E mi hanno chiesto se avrei
Do a little number
Fatto un piccolo numero
And I sang with all my might
E ho cantato con tutte le mie forze
She said
Lei disse
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
"Dimmi, sei un bambino cristiano?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight"
E ho detto "Signora, sono stasera"
