I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
Keep that engine stack a-smokin'
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
So don't turn down my invitation
And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way
Take that night train to Memphis
And when you arrive at the station
Take that night train to Memphis
Halleluiah, halleluiah
Then I'll be shoutin' halleluiah
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
And I'll soon be with my girl, I'm hopin'
I'm not kiddin', I'm not jokin'
Leave at three-fifty-seven
Halleluiah, halleluiah
Take that night train to Memphis
Halleluiah, halleluiah
I'll be right there to meet you
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
I'll be right there to greet you
Tell that engineer to pull the throttle open
Halleluiah, halleluiah
I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
Take that night train to Memphis
And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
And I'll shout halleluiah, all the way
Oh, we'll have a jubilee
Down in Memphis, Tennessee
I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
You know how I'm longing to see you
And arrive at eleven
I'll be shoutin' halleluiah, all the day
