This very night the train was right on time

Baby stepped aboard and left the both of us behind now

You've got to make your day and I've got to make my way

Somehow someway away from you Memphis morning

She's to me what sunshine is to you

Her train cross the river flying 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 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 passing through Memphis morning

Oh oh Memphis morning...
