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

Halleluiah, halleluiah

I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day

Oh, we'll have a jubilee

Down in Memphis, Tennessee

And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way

Take that night train to Memphis

Take that night train to Memphis

You know how I'm longing to see you

Leave at three-fifty-seven

And arrive at eleven

Then I'll be shoutin' halleluiah

Halleluiah, halleluiah

I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day

Oh, we'll have a jubilee

Down in Memphis, Tennessee

And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way

Take that night train to Memphis

Take that night train to Memphis

Tell that engineer to pull the throttle open

Keep that engine stack a-smokin'

I'm not kiddin', I'm not jokin'

And I'll soon be with my girl, I'm hopin'

Halleluiah, halleluiah

I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day

Oh, we'll have a jubilee

Down in Memphis, Tennessee

And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way

Halleluiah, halleluiah

I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day

Oh, we'll have a jubilee

Down in Memphis, Tennessee

And we'll shout halleluiah, all the way
