((G) Take that Night Train To Memphis  
Take that (C) Night Train To Memphis 
And (G) when you arrive at the (D7) station

So (G) don't turn (D7) down my invi-(G) tation. 
 
CHORUS 
Halle-(C) lu-jah! Halle-lu-jah! 
Halle-(G) lu-jah! Halle-lu-jah!

Oh we'll (G) have a jubilee  
Down in (C) Memphis, Tennessee 
And we'll (G) shout halle-(D7) lu-jah all the (G) way. 
 
Take that Night Train To Memphis

You know how I'm longin' to see you 
Leave at three-fifty-seven; arrive at eleven 
And I'll be shoutin' "Halle-lu-jah!" 
 
CHORUS 
 
Take that Night Train To Memphis  
Take that Night Train To Memphis 
Tell that engineer to pull the throttle open 
Keep that engine stack a-smokin',  
I'm not kiddin', I'm not jokin' 
I'll soon be with my girl, I'm hopin'.
