Album: Big Dad John
(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, gonna be right there to greet you
So don't turn down my invitation.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day
There's gonna be a jubilee
Down in Memphis Tennessee
And we'll shout hallelujah all the way.
Take that night train to Memphis, take that night train to Memphis
You know how I'm longing to see you
Leave that 3-50-7 and arive at eleven
And then I'll be shoutin' hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day
There's gonna be a jubilee
Down in Memphis Tennessee
And we'll shout hallelujah all the way.

Night train to Memphis, take that night train to Memphis, oh yeah
Keep that engine stack a smokin',
I'm not a kiddin', I'm not a jokin'
I'll soon be with my gal I'm hopin'.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I'll be shoutin' hallelujah all the day
There's gonna be a jubilee
Down in Memphis Tennessee
And we'll shout hallelujah all the way.
I'm gonna shout hallelujah all the way.
I'm gonna shout hallelujah all the way...
