Every time I listen to this song it reminds
me of 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 got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
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
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Each time we went to a Redbirds baseball
game I would drive down Union
Avenue
Followed him up to the gates ofGraceland

My
wife and I were dating and we visited her Memphis
family, I haven’t been to Graceland so we
went!
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
We walked around his awesome tomb surrounded
by beautiful flowers!
But there's a pretty little thing, waiting for the king
Down in the Jungle Room
But there's a pretty little thing, waiting for the king
Down in the Jungle Room
The jungle room was quite
impressive!
They've got catfish on the table
They've got catfish on the table
We loved going to restaurants where they
served fried catfish!
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy, you got a prayer inMemphis
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy, you got a prayer in
It seemed like there was a church on every
corner in Memphis

One night my FedEx boss organized a party at
the Hollywood Café. It was my wife’s and I
first time! It was a fun party with my fellow employees and their spouses of my
FedEx team!
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
To 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
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
To 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
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
This is very true, I used to go on FedEx
business trips and I got to ride in the cockpit of the FedEx jets! One night I
was returning from Anchorage,AK , (it was a business trip helping my friend Pat Archer with his team of employees with their computers) it was pouring rain. At 3 AM we had the
airport to ourselves so the pilot did a 360 turn right in the middle of the
runway! It was a blast!
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
