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.
|
|
CHORUS
|
Halle-lu-jah! [Halle-lu-jah!]
|
Halle-lu-jah! [Halle-lu-jah!]
|
We'll be shoutin' hallelu-jah all the day
|
Oh we'll have a jubilee
|
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
|
And we'll shout halle-lu-jah all the way.
|
|
Take that Night Train To Memphis
|
Take that Night Train To Memphis
|
You know how I'm longin' to see you
|
Leave at three-fifty-seven; arrive at eleven
|
And I'll be shoutin' "Halle-lu-jah!"
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
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'
|
I'll soon be with my girl, I'm hopin'.
|
|
