Herndon, Ty - 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 boy can be

I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
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

Walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
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
Boy, you 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
To do a little number
So I sang with all my might
She said, 'Boy are you a Christian child?"
And I said, "Ma'am, I am tonight'

Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
Walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
Walking with my feet, ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel

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
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
In the middle of the pouring rain
In the middle of the pouring rain

Herndon, Ty Walking In Memphis Comments
  1. G.... L....

    Great rendition. I never thought of this as an upbeat dance tune, but it certainly works.

  2. L.... M....

    He looks Like he wants to explode with excitement fabulous job Ty!

  3. M.... C....

    What a great remake/cover of this wonderful song. He has made it his own. Love this guy.

  4. M.... R....

    Great take on this song!

  5. E.... G....

    Love his music, but this one? Not so much.

  6. m.... ....

    OOOOOO I'm digging it. Go Ty!

  7. B.... W....

    I didn't think that anyone could sing this better than CHER but boy do I have a new favourite cover. :)

    B.... W....

    Cher's version is incredible, but I do love that Ty did a dance and country version.

  8. J.... P....

    Great vocals! Ty you stayed away too long. So glad to have you return to the music scene and the dance tracks fit your voice so well.

  9. S.... T....

    Love this song! Great version

  10. E.... C....

    Im' a metalhead but I have a soft spot for this song and for Ty. He looks so happy now I am truly happy for him. I hope we continue to get more music from him.

  11. D.... G....

    So sassy! Love it 🥰

  12. S.... F....

    OK now! LOVE it! Ty Keeps showing his chops by exploring more genres! I say REMIX TIME! Lets get a club mix going for this!

    S.... F....

    i think by todays standard they're calling this country folk music.

  13. D.... ....

    This is the reason why I do not listen to pop music. I'll take the old school version.

  14. L.... H....

    Awkward video.

  15. M.... N....

    Great rendition of that song. Bravo Ty..

  16. V.... b....

    Didnt know he was gay until i seen one of his video.

  17. t.... m....

    Good remake of the song but the dancing just looked awkward to me

  18. C.... B....

    Good song, horrible music video

  19. C.... P....

    Damn he's SEXY AS HELL

  20. G.... A....

    Love this version Ty! Gives it a dance club feel!

  21. A.... ....

    YASS!!!

  22. G.... S....

    ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻amei 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  23. C.... B....

    He is fucking adorable........

  24. R.... S....

    My fave version of this!!! Always been a fan

  25. l.... g....

    Love this

  26. A.... W....

    Love the original, but I also like that Ty is branching out, you go Ty

  27. D.... M....

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE, me some TY

  28. o.... ....

    Ty is hot. I wonder if he is still gay.

  29. B.... T....

    Dance tracks fit you well, young man!!!

  30. J.... L....

    Slaying it Ty! ( Be cool if you and Cher did this as a duet too)

  31. E.... C....

    What a wonderful version of this song. I have enjoyed all of these new songs and videos. Thumbs up Dude!! Damn what a voice

  32. C.... J....

    Wow!! I'm absolutely trippin I didn't know he recorded this I ❤️❤️💙💙💙💙💕💕💕💕 this song especially Ty's version 😘

  33. J.... C....

    I know there are criticisms from those who love the traditional versions of this song but I look at it like this...........this version appeals to a younger generation is is pretty much targeted to them. It keeps this song alive and appreciated by a whole knew audience who wouldn’t listen to Marc’s version. It may not be for everyone but is is for some. I say WELL DONE TY!

  34. D.... B....

    Love it! Legit!

  35. M.... L....

    Love! 💜💙

  36. G.... D....

    Absolutely fantastic remake of this song Ty did a great job and he still looking damn hot too

  37. i.... g....

    Love it.

  38. K.... C....

    great! really enjoy this!

  39. i.... ....

    Great performance. You made me FEEL the lyrics.

  40. B.... M....

    LOVE THIS!!!!

  41. r.... ....

    I think it's great that he's having fun exploring a different genre of music other than what we all know him for. That's what being an artist is. If you can't try different things and have fun doing it, then what's the point? You have to do things that make you feel good, too! So, Taylor Swift gets a free pass? NOPE. Major kudos, Ty! :-)

    r.... ....

    thats exactly what imagine dragons does. Pop, rock, metal, inspirational sometimes all in the same song

  42. c.... ....

    His voice sounds better than it ever has!! Its good to see him back with a new video. But I hate the Dance Music.

  43. D.... Q....

    Love it Ty!!! ❤️❤️❤️

  44. A.... ....

    Yassss!!!

  45. A.... H....

    Love this song & I LOVE Ty. I just don’t love the way Ty has redone this song. The original Marc Cohn version & the Lonestar redo are not upbeat dance songs &, in my opinion, this version should not have been made into a dance party song. Looking it up I saw Cher & one other also did it & I doubt they made it a dance party song either. I know Ty could have done this song justice if he had redid it without making it a dance party song - he is an awesome singer/artist but I’m not liking these last two songs he’s remade (this & Whitney Houston’s I wanna dance with somebody). To me - they don’t fit him.

  46. J.... Q....

    hey Ty do you know a Patty Quinnelly that had a son Wayne Quinnelly because im there grandson and she says that your here cousin so you my cousin

    J.... Q....

    Jax Quinnelly WOW!! THAT'S SO COOL😃👍🏼

  47. J.... A....

    I'm a native Memphian. This just is not what Memphis 'sounds' like. Definitely not what Beale or the Hollywood sound like. Murial would not be pleased.

    J.... A....

    Thank you, that's exactly what I was thinking. I don't know who sold Ty on this, but they were so wrong. Muriel was my teacher and friend, and hearing her name in this version with the techno beat made my heart fall. Sorry Ty, but this is just bad version of a great song.

    J.... A....

    Perfect comment. Also in Memphis and spent many nights at the old Hollywood Cafe, before it became tourist trap. This version doesn't capture Memphis or Murial. The original was written as a spiritual journey as the artist rediscovered himself. This version makes a mockery of that experience. Like Ty but this cover is cringeworthy.

  48. J.... M....

    I've always been a huge Ty fan. Ive been fortunate enough to meet him a few times. Good guy, no doubt. With that being said, this techno sound or whatever it is just isn't for me.

  49. S.... W....

    I absolutely love that smile and those sweet dance moves! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

    S.... W....

    that smile makes me melt

  50. D.... B....

    The first time I heard Ty sing this song was in Laughlin Nevada in Feb of this year 2018. I loved it then and I love it now. Excellent Ty. See you in Laughlin in 2019.

  51. L.... L....

    Beautiful! Luv this song!
