I sang for my supper, I played for a dollar

From Melbourne to Memphis to hear the blues holler

Gumbo rice and southern clam chowder

When the full moon is rising, voodoo drums beat louder

Doctor and lawyer and lndian Chief

Riverboat gambler, beggarman, thief

Muddy Waters howls with Memphis Slim

Helter skelter way down in the delta

Where Elvis is King

President Meggs, Ulysses S. Grant

Your Mama says maybe but your Papa says you can't

All you real sharp cats with your pretty little girls

all you sinners and saved in your diamond and pearls

Doctor and lawyer and lndian Chief

Riverboat gambler, beggarman, thief

Muddy Waters howls with Memphis Slim

Helter skelter way down in the delta

Where Elvis is King

I walked through the gates of Graceland in my blue suede shoes

I heard W. C. Handy play the Beale Street blues

There is a street of dreams way down in Tennesse

ln a town called Memphis way down the Mississippi

Doctor and lawyer and lndian Chief

Riverboat gambler, beggarman, thief

Muddy Waters howls with Memphis Slim

Helter skelter way down in the delta

Where Elvis is King
