Little Jimmy Dickens – Night Train To Memphis lyrics

(Beasley Smith - Marvin Hughes - Owen Bradley)

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.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
You know how I'm longing to see you
Leave at 3:57
And arrive 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
Tell that engineer to pull that throttle open
Keep that engine stack a smokin'
I'm not kiddin', I'm not jokin'
I'll soon be with my gal I'm hopin'.

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...
