[Verse 1]

Train, train

Gonna take him on out of this town

Train, train

Gonna take him on out of this town

Yeah, that man I'm in love with

Lord, he's Memphis bound

He's leaving here

Like a raggedy hobo

Oh, he's leaving me

That no good so-and-so

Yeah, that man I'm in love with

Lord, he wants to go, let him go

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Goodbye, goodbye

I'll find myself another man

Goodbye, goodbye

I'll find myself another man

You take that night train to Memphis

Me, I'll make new plans

Take that night train to Memphis

Oh, leave while you can
