Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis

You know how I'm longing to see you

Leave that 3-50-7 and arive at eleven then I'll be shoutin' hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day

Oh we'll have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee

And we'll shout hallelujah all the day

[ piano ]

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 greed you

So don't turn down my invitation

Hallelujah hallelujah...

[ guitar - organ ]

Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis

Tell that engineer to pull a trottle 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'

Hallelujah hallelujah...

Shoutin' hallelujah all the day
