Night Train to Memphis
Dean Martin · Ultimate Collection [2009]
Take that night train to Memphis
Take that night train to Memphis
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 shouting 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
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 shouting hallelujah all the day
Oh, we'll have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee
And I'll shout hallelujah all the day...
