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

Halleluiah, halleluiah
I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way

Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
You know how I'm longing to see you
Leave at three-fifty-seven
And arrive at eleven
Then I'll be shoutin' halleluiah

Halleluiah, halleluiah
I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way

Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
Tell that engineer to pull the throttle 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'

Halleluiah, halleluiah
I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way

Halleluiah, halleluiah
I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
And we'll shout halleluiah, all the way
