Memphis Town Lyrics

Went to the station to get me a train
Gonna climb aboard and ride again
Just climb aboard and ride around
I might get off at Memphis Town
Memphis Town, Memphis Town
All trains goin' to Memphis Town
Shovel in the coal, see the wheels go round
Lord, everybody's goin' down to Memphis Town

I said conductor, where are the trains all goin'?
I want to go to see that girl of mine
He answered me with a railroad frown
All trains go to Memphis Town
Memphis town, Memphis Town
All trains goin' to Memphis Town
Shovel in the coal, see the wheels go round
Lord, everybody's goin' down to Memphis Town

I said, what's doin' down old Memphis way?
There's trains all goin' there today
The trainman said, there's a Jubilee
And Memphis's Town is the only place for me
Memphis Town, Memphis Town
All trains goin' to Memphis Town
Shovel in the coal, see the wheels go round
Lord, everybody's goin' down to Memphis Town

I said to the station man, where's my train?
He said, I never knowed you owned a train
I said, you better answer or I'll smack you down
He said all trains goin' to Memphis Town
Memphis Town, Memphis Town
All trains goin' to Memphis Town
Shovel in the coal, see the wheels go round
Lord, everybody's goin' down to Memphis Town

Goodbye folks, I'm on my way
See you all some other day
Got my ticket, here's my train
Goin' down to Memphis to see my girl again
Memphis Town, Memphis Town
All trains goin' to Memphis Town
Shovel in the coal, see the wheels go round
Lord, everybody's goln' down to Memphis Town

Everybody's goin' down to Memphis Town
