Walking In Memphis

Cher, great music diva.
Did you know that "Walking in Memphis" is the signature song of American singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, from his self-titled 1991 album. The song became Cohn's biggest hit, peaking at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and, after being re-released in fall 1991, reached #22 on the UK chart. The popularity of this song helped Cohn win the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1992.

Walking in Memphis Lyrics











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 girl can 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
I watched him walk right through


Now security, they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
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?


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


They got catfish on the table
They got gospel in the air
Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis


Now Gabriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
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
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
(Walk)
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?


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

I Got You Babe - Sonny and Cher Top of the Pops 1965

Great Oldie Music Hit.



I Got You Babe Lyrics




[Cher:] They say we're young and we don't know 
We won't find out until we grow 
[Sonny:] Well I don't know if all that's true 
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you 

[Sonny:] Babe 
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe 

[Cher:] They say our love won't pay the rent 
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent 
[Sonny:] I guess that's so, we don't have a pot 
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got 

[Sonny:] Babe 
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe 

[
Sonny
:]
 I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring 
[Cher:] And when I'm sad, you're a clown 
And if I get scared, you're always around 
[Cher:] So let them say your hair's too long 
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong 
[Sonny:] Then put your little hand in mine 
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb 

[Cher:] Babe 
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe 

[Sonny:] I got you to hold my hand 
[Cher:] I got you to understand 
[Sonny:] I got you to walk with me 
[Cher:] I got you to talk with me 
[Sonny:] Igot you to kiss goodnight 
[Cher:] I got you to hold me tight 
[Sonny:] I got you, I won't let go 
[Cher:] I got you to love me so 

[BOTH:] I got you babe 
I got you babe 
I got you babe 
I got you babe 
I got you babe
