This very night the train was right on time
Baby stepped aboard and left the both of us behind
Well you've gotta make your day and I've gotta make my way
Somehow someway from here and you Memphis morning
She's to me what sunshine is to you her train cross the river flyin' now what will I do
Like sunshine helps make your day she helped in her own way
Without sunshine flowers waste away Memphis morning
Oh Memphis morning you're not so pretty anymore
Raise your bridges start your whistles blowing
I don't know what I'm hanging round for Memphis morning
Now you hold too many memories
Best thing I can do is leave you with 'em without me
Well if I come back this way now I'll try to plan my day
So you won't see me passin' through Memphis morning
Oh Memphis morning oh Memphis morning oh Memphis morning
