[Verse 1]
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 arrive at eleven then I'll be sitting hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah I'll be shouting hallelujah all the day
Oh we'll have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee
And we'll shout hallelujah all the day

[Verse 2]
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
Hallelujah hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
Tell that engineer to pull a throttle open
Keep that engine stack a Smoking I'm not kidding I'm not joking
And I'll soon be with my girl I'm hoping
Hallelujah hallelujah
Shouting hallelujah all the day
