- 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 I'll shout "Hallelujah" all the day.
-
- 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!
- I'll be shoutin' "Hallelujah"
all the day;
- Oh, we'll have a jubilee,
down in Memphis Tennessee,
And I'll shout "Hallelujah" all the day.
