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
