Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
And when you arrive at the station
I'll be right there to meet you I'll be right there to greet you
So don't turn down my invitation
Hallelujah hallelujah I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day
Oh we'll have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee
And shout hallelujah all the day
[ ac.guitar ]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
You know that I'm longing to see you
Leave the 3-50-7 arive at eleven shout hallelujah all the way
Hallelujah hallelujah...
[ ac.guitar ]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
Engineer pull a trottle open
Keep that engine stack a smokin' I'm not kiddin' I'm not jokin'
Soon I'll be with my girl I'm a hopin'
Hallelujah hallelujah...
And shout hallelujah all the day
