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 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 [ banjo ] 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...
