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
